The Tapanuli orangutan is a species of the orangutan genus originating from the Tapanuli area, Sumatra. Tapanuli. The Tapanuli orangutan is an additional new species as well as the third species discovered after the Bornean orangutan and Sumatran orangutan. The results of recent research show that only 600-800 individuals remain in the wild, making it the most endangered great ape in the world. Living in a forest area of 120,000 hectares which is getting smaller due to increasing interventions in their habitat.
The Tapanuli orangutan is a unique species. From our observations since 2018, orangutans will survive in a forest area if their food is sufficient. In one day Orangutans will eat at least 4 types of food (fruit, leaves, insects, tree bark). Moreover, the forest area where they live is not wide enough. Each Orangutan applies its own territory, especially the male who is very defensive of his territory.
The orangutan forest that we manage is a forest area where 7 individual orangutans live with only 1 adult male and the rest are females and their young. Togos is the dominant male here with a well-built and large stature. Usually in the afternoon Togos will make a loud sound to mark its territory. That becomes our marker to go towards the sound and meet it.
