Orangutans are our closest living relatives sharing 97% of our DNA, intelligent, puckish and tricky - the only great red apes found in Asia. They can be found only in the two islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Tanjung Puting National Park is located in the Central West of Kalimantan. It is the last home for ex-captive and wild orangutans in Borneo.
