Near the end of 2020 leading into 2021, memers began to step away from penis jokes and started using the image more as an exploitable, replacing the words "where" or "banana" in image macros to change the context (examples from late 2020 shown below, left and right). On February 24th, 2021, Redditor /u/Wannabedankestmemer posted an image macro to /r/dankmemes [9] in which they change "banana" to "6.4GB" garnering over 26,600 upvotes in eight days (shown below). Orangutans are the largest arboreal mammals and are very well adapted to life in the trees, with arms much longer than their legs. They have grasping hands and feet with long curved fingers and toes. They have distinctive fingerprints and no visible external tails. Schwartz, Jeffrey (1987). The Red Ape: Orangutans and Human Origins. Westview Press. pp. 6–7. ISBN 978-0-8133-4064-7.

All three species are critically endangered according to the IUCN Red List of mammals. [115] [116] [117] They are legally protected from capture, harm or killing in both Malaysia and Indonesia, [118] and are listed under Appendix I by CITES, which prohibits their unlicensed trade under international law. [119] The Bornean orangutan range has become more fragmented, with few or no apes documented in the southeast. [116] The largest remaining population is found in the forest around the Sabangau River, but this environment is at risk. [120] The Sumatran orangutan is found only in the northern part of Sumatra, most of the population inhabiting the Leuser Ecosystem. [115] The Tapanuli orangutan is found only in the Batang Toru forest of Sumatra.

Orangutans may be killed for the bushmeat trade [122] and bones are secretly sold in souvenir shops in several cities in Indonesian Borneo. [123] Conflicts between locals and orangutans also pose a threat. Orangutans that have lost their homes often raid agricultural areas and end up being killed by villagers. [124] Locals may also be motivated to kill orangutans for food or because of their perceived danger. [125] Mother orangutans are killed so their infants can be sold as pets. Between 2012 and 2017, the Indonesian authorities, with the aid of the Orangutan Information Center, seized 114 orangutans, 39 of which were pets. [126]

Orangutans live in primary and secondary tropical forests located in Southeast Asia. Typically found in Malaysia and Indonesia, these long-armed, orange-haired mammals have characteristics that are very similar to humans. Living in rich and deep forests, they prefer flooded plains or river valley forests as they provide rich land for foraging their nutrients like wild fruits such as lychees and figs. Orangutans sleep and live in the trees. They build nests on top of the treetops, much like little forts that can be thrown together in minutes. These animals enjoy a warm climate, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 38 degrees Celsius. The warm and humid rainforest climate creates a perfect environment for the orangutans to play amongst the trees, grab fruit and enjoy their relaxed lifestyle.

The social structure of the orangutan can be best described as solitary but social; they live a more solitary lifestyle than the other great apes. [50] Bornean orangutans are generally more solitary than Sumatran orangutans. [35] Most social bonds occur between adult females and their dependent and weaned offspring. Resident females live with their offspring in defined home ranges that overlap with those of other adult females, which may be their immediate relatives. One to several resident female home ranges are encompassed within the home range of a resident male, who is their main mating partner. [50] [51] Interactions between adult females range from friendly to avoidance to antagonistic. [52] Flanged males are hostile to both other flanged males and unflanged males, while unflanged males are more peaceful towards each other. [53]

PMID 9642783.In Western sources, the first printed attestation of the word for the apes is in Dutch physician Jacobus Bontius' 1631 Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae orientalis. He reported that Malays had informed him the ape could talk, but preferred not to "lest he be compelled to labour". [5] The word appeared in several German-language descriptions of Indonesian zoology in the 17th century. It has been argued that the word comes specifically from the Banjarese variety of Malay, [4] but the age of the Old Javanese sources mentioned above make Old Malay a more likely origin for the term. Cribb and colleagues (2014) suggest that Bontius' account referred not to apes (as this description was from Java where the apes were not known from) but to humans suffering some serious medical condition (most likely cretinism) and that his use of the word was misunderstood by Nicolaes Tulp, who was the first to use the term in a publication a decade later.

The name "orangutan" (also written orang-utan, orang utan, orangutang, and ourang-outang [1]) is derived from the Malay words orang, meaning "person", and hutan, meaning "forest". [2] [3] The locals originally used the name to refer to actual forest-dwelling human beings, but the word underwent a semantic extension to include apes of the Pongo genus at an early stage in the history of Malay.

OCLC 62265494. Orangutans are great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. They are now found only in parts of Borneo and Sumatra, but during the Pleistocene they ranged throughout Southeast Asia and South China. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan ( P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan ( P. abelii). A third species, the Tapanuli orangutan ( P. tapanuliensis), was identified definitively in 2017. The orangutans are the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which diverged genetically from the other hominids ( gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans) between 19.3 and 15.7 million years ago. van Schaik, C.

The inter-birth interval is somewhat longer in Sumatran orangutans than it is in Bornean orangutans; researchers are still trying to determine why this is the case.
