The
Bornean orangutan (
Pongo pygmaeus) is a species of
orangutan native to the island of
Borneo. Together with the
Sumatran orangutan, it belongs to the only genus of great apes native to Asia. Like the other great apes, orangutans are highly intelligent, displaying advanced tool use and distinct cultural patterns in the wild. Orangutans share approximately 97% of their DNA with humans.
