Writing - Orangutan Information Report

  Hi Readers! 2 weeks ago, Miss McLeod's Writing class made an Information Report about the Orangutan. I really enjoyed this piece of writing and really loved learning about the Orangutan Species, though, I was really sad when I found out that the Orangutan is an endangered species. The hardest thing for me to do while writing this piece of writing was writing about the Tapanuli Orangutan which actually took me 3 tries. Well, here's my Information Report about the Orangutan 😁:

Orangutans.

Introduction

Did you know that Orangutans are at risk of extinction?

 Because of deforestation, many Orangutans lose their lives and homes,

that is why 5-8  Orangutans die per day. For these reasons there are

only 55,000 - 65,000 Orangutans left in the world today. We have lost

over 1 million Orangutans since 2006. 

Appearance

 There are three different species of Orangutan. They are: the Bornean

Orangutan, Sumatran Orangutan and the Tapanuli Orangutan. Though

they are all species of Orangutan, they look slightly different. The

Bornean Orangutan is the only species of ape to originate from Asia.

They have brownish-orange hair and a unique face shape. The Sumatran

Orangutan, like all other Orangutans, has orange hair and has a dome

shaped mouth. And last but not least, the Tapanuli Orangutan, they have

round faces and very expressive eyes. The female Tapanuli Orangutan

are under 4 feet tall and males are 5 feet tall.

Habitat

Did you know that Orangutans' homes are being destroyed everyday?

Orangutans live in the rainforests of the Southeast Asian islands of

Borneo and Sumantra. They normally spend their days swinging around in

the treetops of rain forests and are not aware of what is happening to

their homes. Because of this, Orangutans are caught in the middle of the

chaos of machines destroying their homes, and can be hurt or killed in

the process. That is how deforestation had endangered the Orangutan

species.

Diet

 Did you ever wonder what an Orangutan eats? Well, I was pretty

surprised when I found out that 60% of an Orangutan's diet consists of

fruit. Other than the large amount of fruit they eat, Orangutans also eat

bark, and their preference of bark are those from the Gironniera

Nervosa. Of course, there are other things in an Orangutans diet than

that, like insects, vines, honey, leaves and the inner shoots of plants.

Orangutans also eat meat, but they only eat it on very rare occasions.

Conclusion

 In conclusion, it is not okay for anyone to destroy Orangutans' homes, they are already an endangered species and should not be treated that way. So, please try the best you can to save the great species of Orangutan and their homes, the rain forests.
