:') Orangutans are somewhat omniverous, and feed in groups.
Gunung Palung Orangutan Project
Orangutans have been seen to eat meat only on rare occasions. In Sumatra, three adult females have been observed on seven occasions to hunt and eat slow lorises, and one female was observed to eat a gibbon. At Gunung Palung, a juvenile female orangutan once caught and ate a rat.
