Climbing cautiously through the vines or just lying around, the orangutan seems almost human. Its face and sad-looking eyes remind you of somebody's grandpa. The orangutan is one of the three living species most closely related to man (the others are the gorilla and the chimpanzee). Most of us don't see orangutans very often, either in zoos or in the high forests of Borneo, but you can study this fellow primate at home with Skullduggery's orangutan skull replica. This skull will interest fledgling paleontologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and artists. Cast in durable gypsum cement, the bleached-looking skull is 8.5 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 9 inches long.
