Orangutans: anatomy, habitat, and behavior

Mari Bolte’s zoology overview brings together the life-science basics of orangutans, from their physical traits and diet to their habitats in Sumatra and Borneo. It also covers social behavior—including solitude and tool use—alongside reproduction and the life cycle. A Dayak cultural story about the animals’ origins adds a cultural dimension to the factual material. Photos, captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index give the book several ways to support exploration of its subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Elementary-aged readers interested in great apes and animal life science.
  • Young readers looking for an illustrated introduction to orangutan habitats and behavior.
  • Children using captions, definitions, and reference features to explore nonfiction.
