No, orangutans are not native to India. They are primarily found in the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, which are islands in Southeast Asia. Orangutans are unique in their habitat preferences and are adapted to living in these forest environments where they spend most of their lives in trees.
India, on the other hand, is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including tigers, elephants, and a variety of primate species like macaques and langurs, but not orangutans. The geographical and ecological conditions in India differ significantly from those in the regions where orangutans thrive.
In conclusion, while orangutans are fascinating creatures, you won’t find them roaming the forests of India. Instead, their natural habitat is limited to specific areas in Southeast Asia, making them a unique species to that part of the world.
