what animal belongs to orangutan?

Orangutans are anthropoid apes or great apes. The living anthropoid apes consist of Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, Orangutans, and of course, Humans. Gigantopithecus lived as recently as 50,000 years ago in Southeast Asia, and some think they may still exist, deep in the jungles.

Monkeys are anthropoid primates.  Their closest living relatives are the tarsiers.  The next closest relatives are the strepsirhine primates like lemurs, bushbabies, and lorises.\n\nThe anthropoid/tarsier group may have been derived from a group of small tarsier-like creatures called omomyids.  The primates as a whole were probably derived from lemur-like animals.  The plesiadapids were lemur/rodent-like animals in the early Paleocene.  Modern primates likely came from a subset of plesiadapids.  This may have been true for flying lemurs and tree shrews as well.  A tree shrew like creature may have also been the ancestor of this group.

The difference can be quantified by computing the similarities between the DNA sequences of homo sapiens and other animal species. He's right, the differences are very little. More than 98% of our DNA sequence is similar to the chimpanzee. The gorilla, orangutan and other old world apes are also extremely close. The new world apes are farther, then the monkies, and so on...

Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) currently inhabit only the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Fossil evidence indicates that their past distribution included much of Southeast Asia.\n\nOrangutans are only found in forested areas, but can be found in various types of forests, from low-level swamps to mountainous areas 1.5 km in elevation. They can be found at various heights in the trees. They may move large distances to find trees bearing fruit.\n\nOrangutans are sexually dimorphic. Females range from 30 to 50 kg, whereas males are from 50 to 90 kg. Head and body length is about 1.5 meters and the arms have a spread of about 2.2 meters. They have a thin, shaggy coat that is reddish brown in color. Males have large cheek pads, which are made up of deposits of subcutaneous fat bound by connective tissue. These cheek pads continue growing for much of an adult male's life. Orangutans have a high, sloping forehead and a bulging snout. They have short, weak legs, but strong hands and arms.\n\nOrangutans are polygynous. Although mainly solitary, the home ranges of males overlap those of females. On the rare occasions that the females within their home ranges are sexually receptive, dominant males will mate with them. Younger, smaller males, which are not able to maintain home ranges of their own, often wander alone through the forests. These males may also mate with females, although such copulations are generally forced, and appear to occur as the opportunity arizes, not because the female is sexually receptive or fertile.\n\nFemale orangutans have an estrous cycle about 30 days in length with ovulation occurring around the 15th day. This species does not have genital swelling during estrous, and females have a light menstrual flow lasting 3 or 4 days. Copulation is usually done with the male and female facing each other, each hanging by the arms from a tree branch. Gestation can take anywhere from 233 to 263 days, and typically one offspring is born, although twinning sometimes occurs. Weaning occurs arounf 42 months, although the timing of this may be affected by habitat quality. The interbirth interval is about 4 years, but can be much longer if conditions are poor. In females, sexual maturity is reached at 7 years of age, by which time females have attained their adult size. Males, however, continue to grow until they are 10 years old, and do not have the physical and social maturity required for successful mating until about 14 years of age.\n\nNewborn infants weigh around 1.5 kg. Babies nurse every 3 to 4 hours, and begin to take soft food from their mothers' lips at age 4 months. A young orangutan clings to its mother's abdomen by entwining its fingers in and gripping her fur until it is a year old, then it begins to ride on her back, which it may continue to do until 2.5 years of age. An infant will scream loudly if separated from its mother. The young are not weaned until they are 3 1/2 years old.\n\nAll of the great apes live a long time. In captivity, orangutans may reach the age of 60 years, although the lifespan in the wild is probably shorter.\n\nOrangutans do not form large social groups. Individuals usually travel alone or in small groups consisting of 2 females, their dependent young, and occasionally an adult male. Generally males and females come together only to mate, and otherwise do not associate with one another. Males' home ranges are often 2 to 6 sq. km. in size, and overlap the ranges of several females but not usually those of other males, toward whom they are aggressive.\n\nOrangutans are active during the day (diurnal) and are almost exclusively arboreal. They can be found at various levels in the trees. They locomote by walking along and swinging from branches, descending to the ground only if they cannot move between trees via the branches. Each night they construct, using vegetation, a platform-style nest 40 to 60 feet high in a tree on which they sleep. They may descend briefly to the forest

I would say the National Zoo in Washington DC.  The orangutans have a rope highway throughout the zoo.  They have gorillas too.  Here's the link:\n\nhttp://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/Primates/\n\nWorst zoo for primates is the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.  They are in old cages and look so sad.  They have oragutans, chimps, and gorilla.  They also have a one handed gibbon.

chimps not orangutans nave been found to have  S I V  [ similar to H I V . but if you are bitten by by chimp monkey or coming in to contact with its body fluids  in an open wound while hunting you may . sex is  not the only route though its the commonest

I heard of a skunk ape sighting in the everglades two years ago. no i am not joking . I firmly believe in their existence. The ape ran across a pathway about a hundred yard behind a swamp buggy and was seen by several tourists and native guides. A deputy apperently had some fur that was found at the sight of that sighting and supposiply also pics. It looked kind of like a OrangUtan.

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) has been traditionally included within family Procyonidae, along with racoons and coatimundis. However, a 2000 study rejected the hypotheses that the red panda is most closely related to the bears (ursids) or to the raccoons (procyonids). \nSome new classification schemes assign it to its own family, the Ailuridae. \n\nThe giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a member of family Ursidae, along with other bears. The evidence for inclusion of this species is overwhelming, despite its obvious specializations. \nSo I guess the answer is No, none of the "panda" species are related to racoons.

The two most closely related species to \nChimpanzees (Pan troglodites) are the Bonobos or Pygmy Chimps (Pan paniscus) and Humans (Homo sapiens).  Chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than they are to Gorillas and Orangutans. Some anthropologists argue that the two species are so similar genetically that they should be classified together in a single genus.

My orangutan would.  He's got an inferiority complex and I think it would be therapeutic for him.

Either Dolphins or Gorillas. If you believe Douglas Adams, it's Dolphins, but I think it's gorillas because they have been taught to communicate using sign language.

A monkey (eg baboon, macaque, tamarin) has a tail. A chimpanzee, which is an ape, does not have a tail\n\nOther types of apes are: gorillas, orangutans and gibbons

To my knowledge it would be the bonobo or chimp. But they are apes(no tails and opposing thump?)

humans... Homo sapiens\namerican buffalo ...  Bison bison\nchinook salmon... Oncorhynchus tshawytscha\ncommon chimpanzee... Pan troglodytes\npygmy chimpanzee...  Pan paniscus\n\nNote that the species is identified by both its genus and species name, with the genus capitalized and the species not capitalized... The genus and species can even be the same name, like the buffalo.  Species can sometimes be broken down into sub-species as well...
