Orangutan
Did You Know?
Orangutans are the most solitary of the great apes. While chimps and gorillas live in large social groups, adult male orangutans spend about 90% of their time alone. They have an incredible reach; an adult male's arm span can be up to 7 feet (2.2 meters) from fingertip to fingertip—longer than they are tall! This allows them to bridge gaps between trees in the canopy without ever having to touch the ground.
