Why Are There No Orangutans in Africa?

Why Are There No Orangutans in Africa?

Orangutans belong to one of four genera of hominids, the other three being the gorillas, chimpanzees bonobos, and humans. They are perhaps most well known for their orange-colored fur, proportionately longer arms than legs, and arboreal lifestyle. They once inhabited the trees throughout Southeast Asia and parts of South China but now their populations are restricted to just some small areas of the islands of Borneo and Sumatra.
Here, we ask the question why are there no orangutans in Africa?

I think turtules and tortoises evolution would be interesting, as they survived many mass extinction

Hello bro, you make amazing videos😊. After a long time, I have found a channel like yours.I am from India and can you please make a video on 'Can african animals survive in India'. Please reply.
Love ❤from India 🇮🇳.

Possible reintroduction of former ranges of animals

[shonharris]

Everything is a "pithikis" this a "pithacus" that!

[LaoWatsonSmith]

Stopped watching at “The other three being the Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Bonobo’s & Humans”

Sadly that’s the second sentence. I assume it’ll get sloppier from there so I’m out

[vallaurent]

Save the orcas, save the whales, save the orangutans😊

[rduke]

Love how this channel attributes every extinction to "climate change." Does this mean you agree that the world's climate changes of its own accord and has since the dawn of time? Or are humans responsible for all "climate change"?
