"Orang" is a Malay word meaning "person". The word "orangutan" is derived from it and refers to a particular species of great apes found in Indonesia and Malaysia. Some synonyms for "orangs" include "orangutans", "red apes", and "man of the forest". These primates are known for their distinctive orange fur and human-like qualities, such as their intelligence and ability to communicate. They are also unfortunately an endangered species due to habitat loss and poaching. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these unique creatures and ensure their survival in the wild.
