Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii)

[guppiecat]

The orangutan’s biggest threats come from humans destroying their habitat, kidnapping them for the pet trade, and occasionally eating them (and in at least one particularly horrifying case, the sex trade).

Alas, they can’t do anything about any of this, so they defend themselves against the bogyman instead.
