The question we have regarding the tsunamis is what has happened to the endangered species in the area, like the Sumatran orangutans who were already critically endangered?
Jugda family, Calgary. There’s good news on that front. The majority of orangutans, similar to these ones in Borneo, are safe. Their habitat is farther inland. And coupled with the fact they live in trees, conservation officials say the animals avoided the flooding. The orangutan is the only great ape that lives on the Asian continent. On Sumatra, there are only 7,500 left. They are disappearing at a rate of 1,000 a year from poaching and loss of habitat.
