Male orangutans are large apes. They are generally more than twice the size of females. Males may weigh around 90 kg. Females rarely reach 40 kg. ©G.Ellis/GLOBIO.org Around the age of eight, a young orangutan begins to move away from its mother and create its own life. It will be another six or seven years before it is fully grown. Adult males are twice the size of females. They weigh up to 90 kg. Females rarely reach 40 kg. A full-grown orangutan may stand as tall as 1.5 m at the shoulder (when on two legs). Female orangutans reach breeding age when they are around 15-years-old. They may continue to reproduce until about age 40. Orangutans live up to 60 years.
