A group of orangutans is called a ‘conservancy’ or sometimes referred to as an ‘exaltation’.
This unique term reflects how orangutans are often solitary animals, but when they come together in groups, it is typically in the context of conservation efforts. In the wild, you might not often see orangutans in large groups, as they tend to be more independent compared to some other primates. However, in conservation areas or rescue centers, you may find them interacting and forming social bonds.
Understanding these terms helps highlight the importance of conservation efforts aimed at protecting these magnificent creatures and their natural habitats.
