Safari Ltd. Male Orangutan Figurine - Lifelike 4.25" Hand-Painted Wildlife Figure - Educational Toy for Boys, Girls & Kids Ages 3+

Unlike most other great apes, orangutans spend nearly all of their time in trees. There are only two known species, both of which are found only in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They are very intelligent, and can learn sign language as well as how to use tools. Studied extensively for their knowledge and learning capabilities, orangutans have showed an ability to master sophisticated tools, solve puzzles, and communicate through a basic form of sign language. Some researchers even believe different populations of wild orangutans have unique and distinct cultures. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. 4.25 inches long and 2.5 inches tall, this model is an inch longer than a deck of cards stood on its side. Unlike chimpanzees and gorillas, which have dark black hair, orangutan's hair is a mix of orange and reddish-brown colors, while their faces are a dark hickory.
