ORANGUTAN
Orangutans or Pongo pygmaeus belong to the Primate order. The orangutan spends
most of its time in trees. Each evening it builds a new treetop nest. They are endangered
because of habitat lost and poachers keep on killing, owning, and exporting orangutans.
They only live on the island of Borneo and in the northern corner of the island of
Sumatra.
Orangutans are characterized by rough, long, reddish-brown fur. Male orangutans are
about 95 cm (37 in) in length and about 77 kg (170 lb) in weight. Females are smaller,
reaching about 78 cm (31 in) in height and weighing only about 37 kg (81 lb). The male
has puffy cheeks and a hanging throat-pouch. This pouch contains air sacks that help
produce a groaning, bubbling call, which can be heard at least 1 km (0.6 mi) away.
Half of the orangutan’s diet consists of fruit, but they also eat young leaves, soft inner
bark, termites, eggs, and occasionally monkeys.
When a female is ready to mate, she will seek out an adult male. Orangutans are
mammals; females give birth to a single infant about once every four to eight years. The
gestational period for orangutans is just under nine months, nearly the same as in
human beings. Infants stay very close to their mothers for the first three years until they
don’t consume their mother’s milk.

Sebuah report text biasanya mengandung unsur-unsur tata bahasa sebagai berikut:
1. The use of General noun (general noun), namely a noun that does not refer to a particular object
but can refer to all objects without exception. For example, a bird is a general noun (general)
which refers to all types of birds, whereas the bird or my bird refers to only certain birds.
(Penggunaan General noun (kata benda yang bersifat umum), yakni kata benda yang tidak
merujuk pada objek tertentu namun dapat merujuk pada semua objek tanpa kecuali. Misalnya, a
bird adalah general noun (umum) yang mengacu pada semua jenis burung, sedangkan the bird
atau my bird mengacu pada burung tertentu saja.)
2. Penggunaan linking/relating verbs
Misalnya seem, look, taste, to be (am, is are), dsb.
3. Use of action verbs (action verbs) when describing the behavior or habits of the object being
discussed. Action verbs are verbs whose work can be seen with the naked eye. (Penggunaan
action verbs (kata kerja aksi) ketika menerangkan tingkah laku atau kebiasaan objek yang
dibahas. Action verb yakni kata kerja yang pekerjaannya dapat dilihat secara kasat mata)
Misalnya eat (makan), walk (berjalan), dan see (melihat)
4. The use of timeless present tense (ie, time markers) when explaining something that objects often
/ always do (Penggunaan timeless present tense (yakni penanda waktu) ketika menerangkan
sesuatu yang sering/selalu dilakukan objek). Misalnya kata always, usually, dll.
5. The use of technical terms (technical terms) related to the subject. For example, the subject being
discussed in a report text is Komodo, then the term biology or zoology such as septicemia or
reptile will be used. (Penggunaan technical terms (istilah-istilah teknis) berkaitan dengan subjek.
Misalnya subjek yang sedang di bahas dalam sebuah report text adalah Komodo, maka istilah
biologi atau zoology seperti septicemia atau reptile akan digunakan.)
6. Using paragraphs that have topic sentences to organize some information at once (Penggunaan
paragraph yang memiliki kalimat topik untuk menyusun beberapa informasi sekaligus).
