Kusasi- Dominant Male of the Orangutans

This is a great book about the orangutans of Borneo that are being studied by Birute M.F. Galdikas. It talks about Princess, Uranus, Yaiyat, and the powerful Kusasi. Great for people who love Orangutans and want to help save their enviroment.

Orangutan Odyssey

This book has wonderful historical information relating to the first accounts of orangutans and other animals like apes and chimpanzees. It also recounts how society's perception of these wonderful animals has changed over time, and how oragutans tie into our concept of human evolution. There a tons of just great photos and little stories.
