why they are endangered
-people kill them for the meat or just to eliminate threats to there crops in the country according to a survey of 7,000 local villages
-a payment of $100 for a dead orangutan and $22 for any type of monkey (other than orangutans)
-41,000 borean orangutans left in the world
-6,900 borneans in one national park!
-in 10-20 years borneans are going to be extinct if people dont stop killing them
-the killing rates are 750 to 1800 per a year leading to april 2008
-bornean orangutans are increasingly endangered due to habitat destruction and the bushmeat trade
food
-65-90% of the diet is fruit
-borneans consume 317 different types of food items (young leaves, shoots, bark, insects, honey, birdeggs, and bearing fruit)
-they consume 11,000 calories a day
-bornen orangutans have been sighted using spears to catch fish
