A heavy hulk and tum like mine
in shades of hairy Clementine,
means when I’m up my forest tree
I live my whole life – gingerly!
Orangutans are very heavy, and if they fall out of a tree they can break their bones. Because of this they always test a branch very carefully before trusting it with their full weight.
The forests where orangutans live are being cut down. Unless this can be stopped they will be extinct in under 10 years.
