Life of an orangutan

Before: Orangutans spend their days and nights in trees. They are dependent on trees for a shelter and a food source. Their diet mainly consists of fruit and leaves located on treetops. They use their long arms to function on a daily basis, this resulted in them having shorter legs. After: Orangutans relying on trees poses a big issue, because climate change causes deforestation by spreading wildfires quickly. To overcome this threat orangutans can trade their legs in for longer ones. By having longer legs they can scavenge for food on the ground level effectively. The bark and insects on fallen trees provides a new food source. They occasionally eat meat, meaning that their long legs come into use to catch pray and run from predators. Another positive to these fallen trees, they can make dens and a shelter out of them. Overall, long-legged orangutans would survive in climate change.
