A bit of a loner, but enjoys being on their own.

Orangutans are the least sociable compare to any diurnal primate anywhere in the world.

The males especially are loners and antisocial. The mature males with full face flanges and throat sacs can produce what are known as long calls, to tell others he is about to travel a long way and keep other males out of his way.

Sometimes, the long calls might accidentally attract females in telling them that a large and handsome mate is coming.
