There are two [[species]] of orangutan. They are from [[Southeast Asia]]. There are very few of them left, because loss of the jungle has reduced their [[habitat]]. There are orangutans on view at the [[Singapore]] zoo. The [[name]] orangutan comes from two [[Malay language|Malay]] words, ''orang'' which means ''[[person]]'', and ''hutan'' which means ''[[forest]]''; so orangutan means ''person of the forest''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.orangutans-sos.org/kids/orangutan_facts |title=Orangutan Facts – |first= |last= |work=orangutans-sos.org |publisher=Sumatran Orangutan Society |year=2011 |accessdate=15 July 2011 |archive-date=23 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110823062352/http://www.oran
