Thanks for posting!

> I wonder if their orange color has anything to do with the name? Also, this second picture has me stumped. Is that limb the orangutan is holding on over his head with an arm or a leg?

It’s not the color. Orang means person in Indonesian and hutan means forest, so literally it means “forest people”.

Also I think it is her arm. They have these incredibly long arms.
