Orangutan

Orangutan: a largely herbivorous anthropoid ape (Pongo pygmaeus) of Borneo and Sumatra that is about 2/3 the size of a gorilla and has brown skin, long, sparse, reddish-brown hair, and very long arms.

Orangutan comes from the Malay words orang, meaning "person," and utan, "forest." Orangutan then means "person of the forest." The Malay people named orangutans this because they thought that orangutans were people. They do look remarkably similar to us.
