LA Zoo | Isim the Orangutan @TheLosAngelesZoo | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
This handsome guy is Isim. He is one of the six critically endangered Bornean orangutans that call the L.A. Zoo home. Male orangutans are about twice the size of females, with an arm span of over seven feet! Long arms come in handy, as orangutans spend most of their time in trees. Unfortunately, these magnificent apes are losing their habitat at an alarming rate due to the destruction of their rainforest homes for oil palm plantations. You can help orangutans by downloading Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's free Sustainable Palm Oil Shopping app to shop for orangutan-friendly products.
