Detailed explanation-1: -Orangutans are great apes, as opposed to monkeys, and are closely related to humans, having 97% of DNA in common. Orangutans are extremely patient and intelligent mammals.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four types of great apes: gorillas (Africa), bonobos (Africa), orangutans (SE Asia), and chimpanzees (Africa).
Detailed explanation-3: -Are orangutans monkeys? Orangutans-along with bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and humans-are great apes, not monkeys! Apes are usually larger than monkeys, and have long arms and short bodies. You can see tails on most monkeys, but you will not see an externally visible tail on any apes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Orangutan, gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo and human. These are the five great primates, which are so defined because they do not have tails and are a little bit ahead of their cousins monkeys on the evolution scale.
