Answer : 4. "Critically Endangered"
Explanation :
In Indonesia, scientists observed a wild male orangutan treating a facial wound with chewed leaves of a medicinal plant. Orangutans, recognizable by their red fur, are the largest arboreal mammals, spending more than 90% of their time in trees. They inhabit Sumatra and Borneo, where their habitat ranges from swampy forests to mountainous areas.
