Reflect on the following questions.


 * Is a tree living? Does it have feelings? If we cut the tree trunk, will it feel pain?
 * Humans are living? What do humans need to stay alive?
 * Do plants have the same needs? How are you going to find out about it?

** Answer this question How do the living things in your habitat get food? Does your habitat ** ** include the necessary components needed for the survival of all living things in it? Explain and give examples. **

Job 3 Animal Research Project Answer the following questions about your animal.

**Classification** My endangered animal is an Orangu-tan. The Orangu-tan is a mammal. Most Orangu-tans are vegetarians. Yes, the scientific name for an Orangu-tan is P ongo Pygmaeus.
 * __What is the name of your endangered animal?__
 * Classify your animal. What living group does your animal belong to?
 * Does your animal have a scientific name?

**Life Cycle**
There are four stages in the Orangu-tan's life cycle which are the following:
 * __How many stages are in your animal's life cycle?__

The female Orangu-tan gets pregnant The baby stays in it's mum's tummy for about eight months The baby is born and grows up The baby turns into an adult and reproduces again


 * __What does your animal look like at each stage of its life cycle? What can your animal do at each stage?__

The Orangu-tan looks like a tiny fur-less monkey in it's mum's tummy. When it is born it has whispy hair and looks like a tiny Orangu-tan. At this stage it is still very dependant on it's mother for food, warth, security and safety. At about two years old it has grown in size and strength and is learning to fend for itself by swinging on trees and finding it's own food. When the Orangu-tan is fully grown it is now covered in dark orange fur and has long fur on it's head. It's face has gone darker and it has matured enough to start it's own family.


 * __Find a pictures of each stage of your animal's life cycle and label it__.

** Habitat **
The Orangu-tans habitat is a rainforest. They like the rainforest because there are alot of trees to swing on. The Orangu-tan is the only great ape that lives on the Asian continent. It is found on the Malaysian islands of Borneo and Sumatra.
 * __What is your animal's habitat?__
 * __What continent, country, and type of habitat does it live in?__
 * __Find a picture of your animal in its habitat.__

The Orangu-tan has to find it's own food by swinging on branches through the trees. It also has to climb up high in some trees as the berries are high due to the sunlight being sheltered by the big leaves.
 * __What does your animal have or do to help it live there?__

**Food Chain**

Most Orangu-tans are herbivores. Orangu-tans eat plants flowers and fruits. Unfortunately, large animals such as leopards and tigers can eat Orangu-tans. Humans also poach the animals too.
 * __How does your animal fit into the food chain? Is it a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore?__
 * __What does it eat?__
 * __What eats it?__

**Interesting Facts**

The Orangu-tan gets it's name from being orange in colour. The Orangu-tan has about 96% of human likenesses. Orangu-tans are very sociable animals and take care of each member of the group and of others babies. There are fewer than 20,000.
 * __What are some interesting facts about your animal?__
 * __What is it about them that most people find unusual?__

Yes it is endangered. Human poaching is the main reason for it being endangered. The humans destroying the rainforests is also a reason for it being endangered. Many poachers have been caught selling either Orangu-tan meat or their fur. The rainforest is being destroyed by logging and fires so that humans can build in the rainforest and sell the loggs. This means the berries and plants are gone forever and the Orangu-tan has no food to eat.
 * Endangerment**
 * __Is your animal endangered?__
 * __What are the main reasons for its endangerment?__
 * __Give evidence for each reason.__

It is important to save the animals as they play an important part in the world. They are intelligent animals and dont deserve to die.
 * __Why is it important to save your animal?__
 * __What can you do to save your animal__?

We can try to educate the third world countries on how to sensibly build new houses without destroying the rainforests. We can try to stop the selling of Orangu-tan fur and meat by the poachers and put them in jail if they are caught killing the animals.
