Also, I'm not totally sure of my ID, but since there are three subspecies of Bornean orangutan, I just thought it was more likely that this was one of them, plus, what I said earlier about the Sumatran species being critically endangered...

The two extant species of orangutan are both endangered. The Sumatran orangutan is critically endangered.
