Orangutans live in Indonesia and Malaysia on the Island of Sumatra and Borneo. These are the only places they live in the Wild. Orangutans mostly live in the rainforests where they normally belong. They mostly swing in trees all day. The perfect habitat for them would be the rainforests so they can swing around all day and play all day. Orangutans habitat is endangered because of human activity. Humans are destroying the forests for palm oil and construction.
