What is a group of orangutans called?

Orangutans are highly intelligent and solitary primates that are native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. However, they are known to occasionally form loose groups called "clans" or "parties."

These groups are usually made up of females and their offspring, and occasionally, a dominant male. The male orangutan will usually roam between different groups of females to mate, but will not participate in the day-to-day activities of the clan.

Orangutans communicate through a variety of vocalizations, gestures, and facial expressions within their groups. They are known to have complex social relationships and hierarchies within these clans.

While orangutans are primarily solitary animals, these temporary groupings allow for social interaction, sharing of resources, and cooperative behaviors. Overall, these groups provide opportunities for orangutans to build relationships, learn from one another, and support each other in challenging situations.
