Dear Orangutan, May 29, 2009 How are you? How is your eight year old? Have you had your baby yet since you have them every eight year? Is the fruit, bark, insects, and birds any better now? How about the trees, are they any easier to sleep in or swing to? Do you have any new friends in the new home? How is it? I hope I see you soon in your new home. Please write me back.

Sincerely, dancer

Dear Dancer, June 1, 2009

I am fine how are you? My eight year old is great she can’t wait to see you. I just had my baby yesterday and she is doing great. The food is very good here but the bark is very dry. It doesn’t rain in this rain forest very much. They are actually harder to sleep in so I sleep in a cave with the baby. Yes, we made friends with a family. The rain forest is very nice but we usually sleep in the cave.

Sincerely, Orangutan

Letter to the Bird Family

Dear Mr. Bird and Family, How are you? I would appreciate if you ate some more worms. My family and I are going to eat you soon and you are not fat enough to eat. You need some more meat on your bones. I you don’t I will have my friends, the worms, kill them selves so they don’t have enough food and you will die. You know I’m just looking out for the best for you. It’s not like my family is going to eat you.

Sincerely, Mr. Orangutan

So how are you today Mr. Orangutan? ** Interviewer-I’m awesome today because I just got an awesome job that pays $300 per show! Mr. Orangutan-Great Job! Interviewer-So now that we know where you live what do you eat? Mr. Orangutan-Well if their are any birds in the audience I would suggest not listening to this. I eat birds, bark off trees, insects, and fruit. Interviewer-So what is your favorite thing to eat? Mr. Orangutan-I would probably say the birds,but we rarely eat them. The usually fly away when we try to catch them. So when we get them it’s kind of special. Interviewer-Who is your biggest predator? Mr. Orangutan-Well nothing really eats us because we are very ugly, but I don’t think we are ugly at all. I would probably say that right now humans are our biggest predator because they are taking all of our habitat. Interviewer-Well that is not very nice of us is it? Mr. Orangutan-No but it is starting to get worse so if you could pass the word on that would be great. Interviewer-Let's move on, so what are some challenges about living in the trees and rain forests. Mr. Orangutan-Well, once you get used to the trees it is not very bad but at first when I was a baby I would constantly fall out of them. My mom made me sleep in a cave until I stopped falling out of the trees. Other than the trees the rain forest has not been a big deal for me but my wife said she gets sick of the rain it rains all day long and all through the night. It never stops raining but at least our kids are entertained with it. They would play in the rain all day long if we would let them. One day I did when my wife wasn't home and when she came back from finding fruit she was furious. Interviewer-Well, that is not good! So how many babies do you have? Mr. Orangutan-Well we have two kids but only one is a baby. Orangutans have a baby every eight years but they only have one at a time so we have one eight year old and we have one new born baby that is hwy my wife is at home not here she is taking care of the baby. Interviewer-bye, see you next time on Interesting Animal Talk Show! **
