Summary:
Scientists have long recognized six living
species of great ape aside from humans: Sumatran and Bornean orangutans,
eastern and western gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos. But researchers have
now made it seven, based on a collection of evidence showing that an isolated
population of orangutans living in Sumatra is actually its own unique species.
They've named the new species the Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis).
