“In his memoirs, he recounts how during his first consular posting, he befriended an orangutan.”

“These include the Sumatran orangutan of Indonesia, the mountain gorilla of Africa, and northern muriqui of Brazil.”

“It contains at least 127 mammal species, including the Sumatran elephant, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros, and Sumatran orangutan.”

“The head of an African man is categorised as the missing link between that of a superior European man and an orangutang.”

“The country's indigenous population includes the orang asli, which is commonly divided into the Negritos, the Senoi, and the Jakun.”

“But at once he has just the same sense that the orang could be a human child.”

“In Indonesia there are dukun and orang pintar, with dukun more associated with black magic, while orang pintar heal the sick.”

“In fact, actually compared to chimpanzees and gorillas the orangutans are really much more endangered.”

“Besides the more well-known gorillas, the zoo is home to two families of chimpanzees and a pair of orangutans.”

“The plight of the orangutans is very moving and we felt the foundation would be a very appropriate place to raise funds for.”

“We have chosen values that might plausibly reflect the total species diversity in chimps, gorillas, and orangs.”

“For example, male orangs are typically much larger than females and have longer canine teeth.”

“The money will help fund a project in Borneo to care for orphaned orangs.”
