Hidden Orangutan Population Uncovered

I was delighted to learn about the hidden population of Irawaddy dolphins that had been discovered in South Asia. I am ecstatic now about another recent find, a previously unknown population of rare orangutans. These were found in the forests of Borneo. As many as 5000 endangered Bornean orangutans are believed to be living in the mountains in the East Kalimantan province. Surveyors found over 200 orangutan nests, which could indicate several hundred to several thousand orangutans living in the nearly 1000 square mile area.
