About the Bornean Orangutan

The Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is one of three species of orangutans, found exclusively on the island of Borneo. These great apes are highly intelligent, displaying advanced problem-solving skills, tool use, and complex social behaviors. They are primarily arboreal, spending most of their lives in trees, and their diet consists mainly of fruit, along with leaves, bark, and insects. Males develop large cheek pads, or flanges, and emit loud calls to establish dominance. Due to deforestation, habitat destruction, and poaching, the species is classified as Critically Endangered.

Skull Production & Use

This skull replica is created using high-resolution 3D scans of an authentic specimen. Cast in durable resin and hand-finished, it accurately captures the detailed cranial structure, including the pronounced brow ridges and large canines characteristic of orangutans.

Ideal for collectors, educators, and primatology enthusiasts, this Bornean orangutan skull replica is a valuable addition to any natural history collection, anthropology study, or wildlife conservation exhibit.
