Little orangutan with the rusty hair Running through the forest without a care You are the slowest of the great apes Making it hard for you to escape   Poachers come calling, nowhere to go They take your babies, put them on show You are critically endangered, as we know Your numbers are so very low   The rate your habitat is going away You may not be around another day Author Notes Sumatran Orangutan is one of 3 species. They live in tropical forest and swamp forest. Found only in Indonesia on the Island of Sumatra. There population is less than 13,000 and declining due to poachers and habitat destruction. Males are semi-solitary and only mingle with females to breed. Bornfree.org.uk Worldwildlife.org/species/sumatran-orangutan
