Orangutans and African Wild Dogs
  1. Endangered or extinct?
    1. Orangutans
      1. Sumatran orangutans are much endangered in the wild, they are ten-twenty five years away from extinction in the wild, and soon after the Bornean orangutans are followed with being extinct. The reason why is because their trees are being cut down (logging or deforestation), therefore the humans are destroying their habitat, illegal hunting, and pet trade. There are approximately 6,600 and 40,000 orangutans respectively in Sumatra and Borneo (2014). Never before have their existence been threatened so severely.
      2. African Wild Dog
        1. There are currently only 3,000-6,000 African Wild Dogs remaining in the wild due to human impacts on their habitat landscape causing fragmentation; with the contact of humans and their dogs result in disease transmission; and very lack of prey from farmers over livestock.
      3. Distribution in SA
        1. Orangutans
          1. The orangutans are not native to Australia or South Australia if they were to be found in this country they'd be in the zoo not in the wild. Although, their distribution is in Indonesia and Malaysia on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.
          2. African Wild Dog
            1. African Wild Dogs are neither native to the Australian or South Australian climate as they are born in the southern or eastern parts of Africa (Saharan).

            1. Orangutans
              1. Orangutans usually eat fruit, especially the spiky fruits called Durian that they get from the trees (the smell is terrible, and it tastes similar to garlic and custard). They also feed on flowers, bark, honey, leaves and insects.
              2. African Wild Dog
                1. African Wild Dogs are really big fans of eating meat (carnivores). Gazelles, antelopes and the occasional zebra. They hunt in packs to be able to catch their food which is from their home area to 900 miles away. Unlike other carnivores, the African Wild Dog feed peacefully after a hunt and the rest of the pack shares a feast.
              3. What eats them?
                1. Orangutans
                  1. Because the fact that the Orangutans live in Indonesia and Malaysia they are usually taken by leopards or tigers.
                  2. African Wild Dog
                    1. The two major predators (the only) against the Wild Dog is the lion and the spotted Hyenas as they would outnumber an alone Wild Dog and outweigh them.
                  3. How often does it mate?
                    1. Orangutans
                      1. Males usually mate when they are fifteen years old and females are twelve years old. Oranges tend to live alone instead of large groups, so when the female and the male meet up they have at least one baby and that's it. Orangutans aren't very fond of mating like other mammals are.
                      2. African Wild Dog
                        1. Males and females mate when they are at least twenty two months old and go from there for eight years with the male Wild Dog.
                      3. How many offspring? Does it live in social groups?
                        1. Orangutans
                          1. No, it does not live in social groups, but it has offspring one at a time and usually for every four years.

                            1. Yes, it lives in social groups from 6-20 members and the female gives offspring two-nineteen pups from the average litter of seven-ten.
                          3. What is the ratio of males and females?
                            1. Orangutans
                              1. None.
