Bornean Orangutans
Bornean Orangutans are listed as, endangered
and they are known as,” the man of the jungle”
Orangutan family nests, are up high in the trees
as this way of life, helps them fight disease
They stand out as orange, with lips that pout
and have hands and feet, that grip like a press
with very strong arms, for their natural process
to help them swing, from branch to branch
Orangutans are frugivores, and play a vital role
to dispose many seeds, for Mother Nature’s control
but if humans allow, Orangutans to become extinct
so would many tree species, making all life distinct
Orangutans are hunted for food, and are captured
to be seen as an elite symbol, for their life to be tattered
Their biggest threat, is the human overpopulation
encroaching on their land, with human deforestation
