Recognized by their reddish-brown hair, orangutans are the world’s largest tree-dwelling mammals, spending the majority of their lives in the forest canopy. They have long, strong arms along with grasping hands and feet, which help them swing from branch to branch. These intelligent primates share approximately 96.4% of their DNA with humans.
The word "orangutan" translates to "person of the forest" in Malay. Orangutans, who live in tropical lowland forests, tend to lead solitary lives. Their diet mainly consists of wild fruits such as lychees, mangosteens, and figs, and they drink water by sipping from tree cavities. They build nests from leaves and branches high up in the trees, which they use for sleeping at night and relaxing during the day. Adult male orangutans can weigh as much as 200 pounds. Males with cheek pads, called flanged males, have large facial flanges and a throat pouch used to emit loud, echoing sounds known as long calls. In contrast, unflanged males, who look similar to adult females, can eventually develop these features, though the biological reason behind this transformation is still not completely understood.
Orangutans from Borneo and Sumatra differ slightly in both looks and behavior. While both species have shaggy, reddish fur, Sumatran orangutans are distinguished by their longer facial hair. They also tend to form stronger social connections compared to the more solitary Bornean orangutans, who are also more likely to travel on the ground.
Unfortunately, the populations of both types have dropped significantly. Around 100 years ago, over 230,000 orangutans were believed to exist. Today, the number of Bornean orangutans is estimated to be about 104,700 (classified as Endangered), while the Sumatran orangutan population has dwindled to around 7,500 (classified as Critically Endangered).
A new species of orangutan, called the Tapanuli orangutan, was discovered in November 2017. With a population of fewer than 800 individuals, it is now considered the rarest and most threatened of all great apes.

The following text for question number 11 to 15
The Songkran Festival is observed in Thailand as the traditional celebration of the New Year. It takes place annually from April 13th to 15th and aligns with the New Year observed in traditional calendars across South and Southeast Asia. The festival is believed to have its origins in the Hindu celebration known as Sankranti. Today, it is celebrated throughout Thailand, including the southernmost regions.
Nevertheless, the grandest and most well-known Songkran festivities occur in Chiang Mai, a city in the north, where the celebration can continue for six days or even longer. Over time, the festival has gained popularity among international visitors, turning into a major attraction for tourists. A distinctive aspect of Songkran is the splashing of water on one another. People take to the streets with buckets, hoses, and water guns. Many also carry bowls of inexpensive beige talcum powder mixed with water, which they gently smear on the faces and bodies of strangers as a gesture of blessing for the New Year. Local authorities usually block off several streets to accommodate the festivities.
In addition to the playful water fights, many people celebrate Songkran by visiting Buddhist temples to pray and offer food to the monks. They also cleanse sacred Buddha statues in both home altars and temples by softly pouring scented water over them. This symbolic act is thought to bring good fortune and success in the coming year. In cities such as Chiang Mai, Buddha images from significant temples are paraded through the streets, giving people the opportunity to ritually pour water over them as a sign of respect and reverence.
