Javan orangutan (SciiFii)

The Javan orangutan (Pongo javensis) is a species of orangutan (Pongo) that originally lived in Java during the Middle to Late Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the modern rainforests across Java to help boost biodiversity. Male Javan orangutans grow to about 1.7 m (5.6 ft) tall and 90 kg (200 lb), while females are smaller, averaging 90 centimeters (3 feet) and 45 kilograms (99 lb). Compared to the Bornean and Sumatran species, Javan orangutans are slightly thinner and have longer faces; their hair is longer with a brighter red color. Compared with the Bornean and Sumatran orangutan, the Javan orangutan tends to be more frugivorous and especially insectivorous. Preferred fruits include figs and jackfruits. It will also eat honey, bird eggs, and small vertebrates. Javan orangutans spend far less time feeding on the inner bark of trees. Wild Javan orangutans in the rainforests and swamps have been observed using tools. A Javan orangutan will break off a tree branch that is about a foot long, snap off the twigs and fray one end with its teeth. The Javan orangutan will use the stick to dig in tree holes for termites. They will also use the stick to poke a bee's nest wall, move it around and catch the honey. In addition, Javan orangutans use tools to eat fruit. As well as being used as tools, tree branches are a means of transportation for the Javan orangutan. The Javan orangutans are some of the heaviest mammals to travel by tree, which makes them particularly susceptible to the changes in arboreal compliance. To deal with this, their locomotion is characterized by slow movement, long contact times, and an impressively large array of locomotors postures. Orangutans have even been shown to utilize the compliance in vertical supports to lower the cost of locomotion by swaying trees back and forth and they possess unique strategies of locomotion, moving slowly and using multiple supports to limit oscillations in compliant branches, particularly at their tips. The conservation status of the Javan orangutan is Endangered due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservation, the Javan orangutans are a protected species.
