Sumatran Orangutans

Sumatran Orangutans are listed as, critically endangered
They are found in, in the provinces of North Sumatra and Aceh
with only nine populations, that number about two hundred and fifty
but because of human populations, their numbers are not pretty

Orangutans live their lives, exclusively living among the trees
and females hardly go to ground, with males are seen there rarely
Orangutans like to hangout and eat, in the breeze of the fruit trees
with adult females cradling young, and adult males being solitary

Orangutans play a vital role, for the health of their natural forests
as they eat and dispose seeds, when they have to go to the dunny
 If Orangutans become extinct, the natural forests will not look sunny
as we would lose many tree species, because of, the greed of money

Greed of money is possibly going to kill us. Thank you for the reminder.

Yes, along with human overpopulation. Thanks.
