Pongo hooijeri

Description

The Vietnamese orangutan (Pongo hooijeri) is an extinct species of orangutan from the Pleistocene of Vietnam. It was named in honor of paleontologist Dirk Albert Hooijer. Fossils of the ape were found in the Tham Hai Cave. It is unclear whether Pongo hooijeri is truly a distinct species or merely a Vietnamese population of one of the extant orangutan species.
