Orangutan is a species of great apes originated from
Indonesia and Malaysia. The name was derived
from two words in Melayu language, the first word
is “orang” which means “human” and the second
word is “utan” which means “forest”. It is recorded
that orangutan have 96.4 % DNA similarities to
human. They also behave like human in their daily
life. Nowadays, they can only be found in the
rainforest of Sumatra and Borneo. There are two
sub-species of orangutan, they are: the Bornean
orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and the Sumatran
orangutan (Pongo abelii).
Orangutan have two legs and two hands. They have
four long fingers and a thumb on their hands which
allow them to perform some activities like humans.
They have a huge and fat body, large neck, long
arms and short legs. They don’t have any tail. An
adult orangutan can reach the body height of 1,5 m
with the body weight around 50 to 100 kg. Their
body is full of reddish or brown hair.
Their pregnancy period is similar with human which
can take up to 274 days or around nine months.
They can live up to the age of 35 to 45. They
consume fruits as their main diet, but they also eat
bark, honey, insects and bird eggs.

The Sumatran tiger is a subspecies of tiger
native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It’s
the smallest of the tigers, possibly because it
evolved on an isolated island habitat. The
Sumatran tiger’s stripes are closer together and its
fur is a darker orange than other subspecies, better
allowing it to blend into its tropical rainforest
habitat.
Like all tigers, Sumatran tigers are
carnivores. They will prey on almost any available
animal, big or small. This includes fish, monkeys,
wild boar, tapirs, and deer, among many others.
They hunt at night and tend to make about one
large kill a week.
Sumatran tigers are solitary, except during
courtship, when a male and female will spend
several days together, mating often to ensure
success. A female is pregnant for about a hundred
days before giving birth to a litter of one to six
cubs. The cubs stick with their mothers for about
two years.
Habitat loss and poaching are the two
biggest threats the critically endangered Sumatran
tiger faces. The expansion of oil palm plantations
was the primary driver behind a nearly 20 percent
loss in Sumatran tiger habitat between 2000 and
2012, one study found. (Palm oil, from the oil
palm tree, is now the world’s most popular
vegetable oil, used in everything from cookies and
pizza dough to lipstick and soap.) Loss of prey
animals because of deforestation is also having a
negative effect on Sumatran tigers.
Tiger poaching occurs even in protected
areas. Tiger bones are used to make tiger bone
wine, a drink in demand by a small number of
wealthy Chinese who believe it will impart the
characteristics of the tiger to the drinker. Tiger
canines may be worn as jewelry, and tiger skin
furniture and other products are seen as status
symbols among some in Asia.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They
belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their
own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had
claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just
bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slithers along the
ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm
weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded;
they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of
snakes live in trees, some live in water, but most
live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in
thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizards,
mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat
small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes
protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes
are protected by scaring their enemies away like
the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from
danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin
stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar
gliders.
