Orangutan
Pongo pygmaeus
Orangutan means 'person of the forest' in Malay.
Mostly fruit, plus leaves, bark, and the occasional insect snack.
Gazelle
Eudorcas thomsonii
Thomson's gazelles can keep a fast pace longer than a cheetah's sprint lasts.
Short grass. They like the lawn freshly mowed by bigger grazers.
