Orangutans includes two sub-species, the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) and orang utan Kalimantan (Borneo) (Pongo pygmaeus). What is unique is the orangutan has a close kinship with humans at the level of kingdom Animalia, where orangutans had DNA similarity rate of 96.4%.
They have a fat body and big, thick-necked, long and strong arms, short legs and bowed, and did not have a tail. Orangutan has about 1.25-1.5 meters. Orangutan body covered with brownish-red hair. They have a large head with a high position of the mouth.

Baby orangutan can live independently at the age of 6-7 years. Dependence on its mother orangutan is the longest of all animals, because there are many things to be learned in order to survive, they usually maintained until the age of 6 years. Orangutans breed longer than other primates, Orangutan females only give birth to one calf every 7-8 years. Age of orangutans in the wild about 45 years, and throughout his life female orangutan has only 3 offspring lifetime. Where it means a very slow orangutan reproductive.
