Paresthesia (Greek para- = abnormal, esthesia = feeling) is abnormal sensation on the skin that has no apparent physical cause (1). Paresthesia includes numbness and tingling, and can be temporary or permanent. Numbness is a decreased or lost sensation in the skin. Tingling is an unusual sensation in the skin. It is often described as feeling of pins and needles, tickling, pricking, creeping, skin crawling, ant crawling, and so on.
The orangutan (Pongo) is a great ape that has fur with a color between red and brown. There are two species of orangutan. They are from Southeast Asia. There are very few of them left, because loss of the jungle has reduced their habitat. There are orangutans on view at the Singapore Zoo.
Orangutans are found on only two islands in the world: Borneo and Sumatra. Sumatra belongs to the country of Indonesia, and Borneo is shared by Indonesia and Malaysia. On Sumatra, the orangutanâs main predators, or natural enemies, are tigers and leopards. Tigers are very rare, however, because people have killed most of them off. On Borneo, there are no tigers, and leopards are the main animal that eats orangutans. On either island, young orangutans are much more likely to be eaten by a predator than are adult orangutans. As for the question of what an orangutan eatsâorangutans mostly eat fruit, as well as other types of vegetation.
