Welcome to the “Long Call Club”
What is a long call and how can you be part of the club?
A “long call” is a very loud and unique sound which is made by an adult male orangutan for a few different reasons. One of these is to announce that he feels threatened. When he makes this call, he certainly doesn’t expect humans to come and save him. However, if we don’t do something now to help, orangutans in the wild will not survive. The Long call is most frequently emitted by flanged males or Cheek padders as they are know, but can also be made by unflanged males. Long calls can be spontaneous (to attract females or discourage other males to come in the area), or as response to other long calls, as response to a falling tree or other forms of disturbance, and towards observers. Long calls consist of three parts: grumbles (the introduction), pulses (the climax) and bubbles (the tail-off). A long call always contains pulses, but not necessarily grumbles and/or bubbles. Long calls are audible up to approximately 1500m. The long call sends a clear and loud message that you are entering an orangutan territory – Strong, powerful and determined the voice of the orangutan continues to call to make people aware of the plight of the orangutan.
