This Mojo Orangutan figure captures the distinctive characteristics of an orangutan, showcasing its long arms, large hands, and robust body. The detailed craftsmanship emphasizes the orangutan's unique facial features, including its expressive eyes, broad face, and prominent cheek pads (on males).
The reddish-brown coloration of the fur, textured to mimic the dense and shaggy coat of a real orangutan, adds to the figure's realism. The figure is sitting thoughtfully, reflecting its contemplative nature.

Orangutans are great apes native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They are known for their striking reddish-brown fur, long arms, and large bodies. Orangutans are primarily arboreal, meaning they spend most of their lives in trees, where they move with grace and dexterity. Their long arms, which can stretch as wide as 7 feet, allow them to easily swing from branch to branch, a mode of locomotion known as brachiation.
Orangutans are known for their high level of intelligence. They use tools in the wild, such as sticks to extract insects from tree bark or to test the depth of water. They have also been observed using leaves as makeshift gloves to handle spiny fruits or as umbrellas to shield themselves from rain. This intelligence is accompanied by a slow life history; orangutans have long lifespans, low reproductive rates, and extended periods of juvenile dependency. Mothers typically care for their young for up to eight years, teaching them vital survival skills.
