How fast can a orangutan swing?

Answer 1

At speeds of up to 25-30 mph depending on location , gradient etc

however usually they are slow because they have a mental map of the forest , unlike say a gibbon who is far faster but does not share this mental power.

so to sum it up about 12-16 mph slow swing

16-24 fast

any over 24 sprint

But even though the orangutan is indeed very strong and has great stamina , its just not practical to swing at max speed all day

Answer 2

To move from place to place faster, therefore using less energy. This is also one of their natural instincts from mother nature herself.

Answer 3

well drr, yes!
