However, they normally can live for about 50 years in the wild unfortunately some failed to reach its adulthood due to human disruption.

Orang Utan normally were killed for food while others were killed because of disruption in people's properties. Mother Orang Utan were killed so their infants can be sold as pets which happens many of the infants die without the help of their mother.
