Not many people know, orangutans did not always have such long arms. They used to spend their days monkeying and playing around on the forest floor. They never had a thought about leaping and swinging around so high. They never dreamed of flying up above the soft, green leaves and flowers that colour the rainforest. Then one morning, a young Orangutan, called Pongo, decides he needs to show a little tarsier that he can leap as far as he can.
