It's not Orange Utan, dear. It's Orang Utan. And they do come in reddish-orange colour; their fur. They're smart and look like a monkey, a really big one. Currently, there are not much left and that's why they're securely protected. I think.

It's not an Orange Utan...but an ORANGUTAN (Pongo Pygmaeus).
It's a species of ape living in the jungle zones of Borneo & Sumatra in Southwest Asia. The name means "man of the forest" in Malay, a local language. Because these apes in resemblance, are very close to man.
They are herbivorous anthropoid apes and also arboreal (which means they live mostly en trees). About 2/3 the size of a gorilla, they have very long arms
By the way, they have brown skin and a brownish-russet coloured hair and in captivity, in general they are very good natured, affectionate animals.
They are now an endangered species in their natural habitat, as the jungle zones are being reduced by man.

It is a kind of monkey. Yes, some have orange hair and because the forsts where they live is getting cut down, they have a problem. Look at the link for photos and info
