Summary:
- Orangutans are large, tree-dwelling apes found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They are known for their impressive napping abilities.
- Orangutans spend up to 18 hours a day resting and sleeping in their nests high up in the trees. They build new nests every day, using leaves, branches, and other materials.
- Napping helps orangutans conserve energy and stay cool in the hot, humid rainforest environment. Their slow metabolism and sedentary lifestyle allow them to rest for long periods without needing much food.
