Present
Orangutans are large, reddish-brown animals that inhabit the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They live in the treetops, using branches for shelter and foraging for food. These intelligent creatures are threatened by habitat loss and poaching, and they rely on the preservation of forests to survive.
Future
If deforestation and climate change continue, forty years from now, orangutans may evolve to resemble gorillas. They might develop claws and fangs to help them eat meat, requiring more muscle than fat to catch their prey. Additionally, they could grow thick hair around their eyes to keep dirt out and develop special skin to protect them from the sun. In the end, they might become more similar to humans.
