Orangutans are smart
and can be sneaky.
Orangutans avoid danger by swinging through trees. They
swing from tree to tree. They don’t worry about falling.
Their bodies are made to swing. They have
flexible
hips.
Flexible means they can move easily. Their feet are like
hands. They grip easily. They have large arm spans.
Orangutans are smart. They use tools. They use sticks to
get honey and bugs. They use leaves as umbrellas. They use
leaves as toilet paper. They use branches to scratch their
backs. They can pick locks.
They talk to each other. They make a lot of noise. They
howl. They can be heard 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) away.
