Orang-utans
are highly intelligent apes who can recognise their own reflection.
They can also use tools. For example, they might stick a long branch
vertically into a lake to find out how deep it is, or use it to make a
bridge over marshy ground before they cross.
Fun Fact
When it rains, orang-utans hold leaves over their heads to prevent them from getting wet.
