Orangutans are the champions of longevity among primates: in the zoo they can live up to 60 years or more. The average age is 45 years. DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES A large tailless red monkey with a "philosophical" facial expression. Height of males up to 150 cm, females up to 120 cm, weight of males 60‒200 kg, females 40‒80 kg. Hands are much longer than legs. They live alone, only cubs stick to their mothers, and occasionally groups of two females are found. Males each stay in their own territory and do not like strangers. Newborns weigh 1.5–2 kg, feed on their mother's milk until they are 3–4 years old, and live with her until about 6–8 years old. Such an unusually long childhood is explained by the way of life of orangutans: after leaving the mother, other monkeys remain in the family (or pack), and single orangutans need to be well prepared for independent life. One of the rarest primates in the world; listed in the International Red Book as a critically endangered species - IUCN (CR) - this is the highest category of danger for species found in nature. Feldman Ecopark contains a large group of these rare primates.
