AMAZING ASIAN ANIMALS: ANSWER PAGE
Mystery Animal #2 Answer: Sumatran Orangutan
Orangutan, in a Burmese language, means 'man of the forest.' While the other similarities are obvious, maybe the orangutan's most striking human-like characteristics are its thoughtful eyes, which make the beast seem to be pondering the mysteries and wonders of life. I wonder if it knows it is endangered. (Orangutans live on the Southeast Asian islands of Sumatra and Burma.)
