🦧Bornean orangutan
El orangután de Borneo (Pongo pygmaeus) es una especie de primate catarrino de la familia de los homínidos nativa de la isla de Borneo en Indonesia. Es la especie de orangután más numerosa, con unos cuarenta y cinco mil individuos en estado salvaje, números que contrastan con los siete mil quinientos orangutanes de Sumatra que aún viven en su hábitat natural.[cita requerida] Sus grandes amenazas son los incendios, la tala de los bosques donde habita, la caza y el tráfico ilegal de sus crías en el mercado negro.
