Orangutans live high up in trees 20 to 100 feet off the ground. Orangutans only spend about 5% of their time on the ground to move from one group of trees to the next which is a very impresive amount if compared to earlier times when they spent 0%. The reason for this is thought to be because the tigers would be its main predator, but now that tigers have become extinct the orangutans can come out of the trees when necessary. | Orangutans live high up in trees 20 to 100 feet off the ground.
