Orangutans are fighting for survival, their future hanging by a thread. But how do they truly behave in the wild? How do they navigate their three-dimensional world? Until now, this has never been captured in detail. Astonishing new discoveries reveal just how extraordinary these “people of the forest” are. For the first time, a female with twins has been filmed – an extremely rare sight. Even more surprising: orangutans using tools, a behavior previously known mainly in chimpanzees. Proof of their incredible adaptability. Could there still be hope for Asia’s last great apes?
