Zoo of Barcelona: Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) ts name in Malay means Òman of the forestÓ, as it is only found in the dense rainforest of Borneo, where it leads a totally arboreal life, although old males sometimes have more earthbound habits. It does not live in family groups like gorillas or chimpanzees, and generally lives alone or, at most, in pairs. Adult males develop a large throat poach that gives them a peculiar appearance and which acts as a voice box when they roar.
