The Resourceful Orangutans
Tool Makers
Orangutans are expert tool makers, using sticks to extract insects, leaves as umbrellas, and even creating makeshift shelters. Their ability to craft and use tools is a clear sign of their high intelligence and adaptability. Watching an orangutan solve a problem with a tool it has created is like witnessing a natural engineer at work.
Cultural Traditions
Orangutans also exhibit cultural traditions, with different groups developing unique behaviors and skills. These traditions are passed down through generations, showing that orangutans have the capacity for cultural learning. Their rich social lives and innovative skills make them one of the most fascinating primates in the animal kingdom.
