From Wikipedia (for self-study),

Orangutan
The orangutans are two species of great apes known for their intelligence, long arms and reddish-brown hair. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, Vietnam and China. They are the only surviving species in the genus Pongo and the subfamily Ponginae (which also includes the extinct genera Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus). Their name derives from the Malay and Indonesian phrase orang hutan, meaning "person of the forest".

Ummmm..............Is this your way of telling me they are not monkeys?

No, I didn't said that.

From Wikipedia,

Monkey
A monkey is any member of either the New World monkeys or Old World monkeys, two of the three groupings of simian primates, the third group being the apes. There are 264 known extant species of monkey.

So, what I said just know is just pointing to the specific species name only.

OK my bad

They still aren't monkey's though, so you still suck.

Just remember one thing, we evolved from these creatures. 55 years is a long life spam for any animal other than humans, though I'm sure some of the aquatics have pretty long life spans too.

What really freaks me out are dolphins and whales - too damn intelligent. They could overthrow us one day
