HABITAT AND DIET
Orangutans on Sumatra, especially younger ones, have to worry about tigers, as well as other predators such as clouded leopards, large pythons, and crocodiles.
Do orangutans get eaten by anything?
On Sumatra, the orangutan's main predators, or natural enemies, are tigers and leopards. Tigers are very rare, however, because people have killed most of them off. On Borneo, there are no tigers, and leopards are the main animal that eats orangutans.
What animals are threats to orangutans?
Unfortunately, there are many threats to the remaining wild populations of orangutans. Deforestation for the benefit of oil palm plantations, mining, infrastructure, illegal logging, forest and peat fires, illegal hunting, and illegal wildlife trade are just a few of the threats against the wild orangutans.
