🦧Bornean orangutan
O orangotango-de-bornéu (nome científico: Pongo pygmaeus) é uma espécie de orangotango que, como seu nome indica, é nativa da ilha de Bornéu (Indonésia e Malásia). Juntamente ao orangotango-de-Sumatra e ao orangotango-de-Tapanuli, pertence ao único gênero de grandes primatas na Ásia (Pongo). Essa espécie é mais numerosa, com aproximadamente 104.700 mil indivíduos, números que contrastam os 7500 orangotangos-de-Sumatra que vivem em seu habitat natural. O orangotango-de-bornéu está ameaçado de extinção devido aos incêndios, à destruição florestal em troca de plantações de óleo de palma e ao tráfico ilegal de crias de orangotango. Estes orangotangos partilham aproximadamente 97% de seu DNA com o homem.
