The strength of orangutans is said to be 5 to 7 times stronger than a full-grown adult. Other than that, their bite is also just slightly lower compared to an adult lion. Those are some of the reasons for you not to easily messed up with orangutans.

As stated on the WildlifeBoss.com website, these are some quick facts. Especially about the strength that they would really have.
