Sharing 97% of DNA with humans, Orangutans have four long digits and opposable thumbs or toes for grasping. Similarly, they hear, see, smell, taste, and touch like humans. Highly intelligent, they can think and reason. Thus, Malaysians once thought Orangutans to be forest men. Orangutans live in trees rarely touching ground; they swing from branch to branch to travel. Their large, bulky, tailless body supports a thick neck, long strong arms, and short, bowed legs.
