Today is International Orangutan Day! To show our love for this great ape of Borneo, we will be featuring all about this beautiful and highly intelligent creature today. To start, read on great info on Orangutans by our friends from @stickyricetravel 🦧

Orangutans' arms stretch out longer than their bodies, over two metres from fingertip to fingertip. Like us humans, they also have opposable thumbs on their hands and feet. These great apes are native to Sumatra and Borneo. They have a mostly arboreal lifestyle spending up to 90% of their time in the trees of the tropical rainforests they call home. However our orangutans here in Borneo actually spend more time on the forest floor than their cousins in Sumatra - one theory is that the absence of Tigers on our island has allowed them to descend from the trees and forage without fear. ⁠

【「大姆指」讓人類文化永流傳 】

人們都說雙手萬能，然而，不只人類，其他靈長類(primates)也有雙手，也都會使用手，而人類的手部最大的不同，就在擁有功能強大的大姆指，讓人類的文化得以發展綿延。

在人類的手部發展中，「可相對拇指」(opposable thumb)可以說是最獨特，最殺手級的應用與演化。姆指讓人類可以精準的抓握細小的物品，而人猿或大猩猩類的大姆指，靈活度無法相及。

Socks is the most expressive #Pradamalia specimen, engineered with two opposable tails to facilitate dialogue: wag right for yes, left for no.
