Have you ever seen Orang Utan? According to Wikipedia, The orangutans are two species of great apes with long arms and reddish, sometimes brown, hair native to Indonesia and Malaysia. They are the only extant species in the genus Pongo and the subfamily Ponginae, although that subfamily also includes the extinct Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus genera.
