Komodo dragon, Orang Utan...
Watch
Some of the wild creatures of Indonesia, starting with the Komodo Dragon, which can be 10 feet (3 meters) long and which can attack and eat humans; and ending with the Orang Utan. Orang-utans usually live on their own. Recently, 80 per cent of the orang-utan habitat has disappeared, due to logging, farming and plantations. The market in orang-utans for pets thrives in Taiwan, where the population of orang-utans per square kilometre in the capital, Taipei, has been estimated to be greater than in their natural habitat. Many thousands of monkeys, including Macaques from Indonesia, are used in cruel animal experiments.
