We can hardly bare captivity; this is the reason why you have never seen us in a zoo or in a circus playing the fools.

We have highly specialized dietary needs.

Human can't feed us, since our digestive system is quite complicated (somewhat similar to the ruminants' ones, even though we aren't). Food has to ferment: this is the reason why we have such big bellies.

   We can ONLY eat Borneo local trees young leaves, dry starchy fruits, and seeds; however, were we live food is not so abundant, so we have to range widely to find enough.

That means we need large protected areas to survive and DEFORESTATION is the main threat to us.
