When the Orangutan died, scientists studied his remains and compared it to 34 other adult male orangutans. They found enough differences in the Tapanuli orangutan to conclude it represented a separate species. There are fewer than 800 Tapanuli orangutans left, and unless conservation measures are taken soon, the speci
