No import permit is necessary for these species under CITES (although a permit is needed in some countries that have taken stricter measures than CITES requires). Permits or certificates should only be granted if the relevant authorities are satisfied that certain conditions are met, above all that trade will not be detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild.

Its focal length is determined by the radius of curvature of the cornea. Many corneal eyes (eg: in land vertebrates) also have lenses, but the lens is flattened and weakened compared with an aquatic lens; most of the refractive power is provided by the cornea. Corneal eyes cannot focus in aquatic habitat.</li> <li><strong>Attribution:</strong> <a href='https://www.britannica.com/science/photoreception/Single-chambered-eyes#ref278820'>https://www.britannica.com/science/photoreception/Single-chambered-eyes#ref278820</a></li> </ul> <a href="/terms/search_results?tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bot%5D=529&tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp%5D=7922&tq%5Br%5D=record">show all records</a> </div> </div> </li> </ul> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/assets/leaflet-0c7c49ff6cef60703f21846c767458278dc2e5a07b6df4416a14a9ee18fd8764.css" /> <div class='map-contain-overview-section'> <div class='map-contain map-contain-overview'> <div class='map' data-icon-path='/assets/maps/pin24-d17b03d0a7bd19160afaf9201eac240d5c79b6181ea425ebf09355f73099e856.png' data-icon-retina-path='/assets/maps/pin48-dc733efea4bd3e7cb7d10c3faf5e670f9e5833f09ef9433045fc1a9dd67d9948.png' data-map-data-path='/data/map_data_dwca/5/42005.json' id='map'></div> <div class='uk-text-meta map-caption'>Known occurrences, collected specimens and observations of Orangutan. <a href='https://gbif.org/species/5219531'>View this species on GBIF <i class='fa fa-external-link'></i></a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='l-right-col'> <a class="hero-link" href="/media/10824458"><div class='hero hero-after'> <img src="https://content.eol.org/data/media/a1/8a/20/913.71410.jpg" /> <div class='img-info'> <i class='copyright icon'></i> N Sloth   cc-by-nc </div> </div> </a> </div> </div> <div class='l-overview-full'> <div class='page-children'> <h4>Orangutan includes <a href="/pages/42005/names">4 children</a>:</h4> <ul class='page-child-list'> <li> <a href="/pages/2925671">Pongo abelii Lesson 1827 (Sumatran orangutan)</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pages/32001113">Pongo hooijeri Schwartz et al. 1995</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pages/326450">Pongo pygmaeus (Linnaeus 1760) (Bornean orangutan)</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pages/51906311">Pongo tapanuliensis Nurcahyo, Meijaard, Nowak, Fredriksson & Groves ex Nater et al. 2017 (Tapanuli orangutan)</a> </li> <a href="/pages/42005/names">see more</a> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='footer'> <ul class='footer-section footer-section-eol-info'> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol">What is EOL?</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol/whats-new">What's New?</a></li> <li><a href="http://discuss.eol.org">The EOL Forum</a></li> <li><a href="https://education.eol.org">Education</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol/citing-eol-and-eol-content">Citing EOL</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol/terms-of-use">Terms of Use</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol/data-services">Data Services</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/food-webs">Food Webs</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol/language-support">Language Support</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/what-is-eol/donate">Donate</a></li> <li><a href="http://discuss.eol.org/t/contact-us-at-eol/181">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> <ul class='footer-section footer-section-discover'> <li><a href="/docs/discover/animals">Animals</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/mammals">Mammals</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/birds">Birds</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/amphibians">Amphibians</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/reptiles">Reptiles</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/fishes">Fishes</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/invertebrates">Invertebrates</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/crustaceans">Crustaceans</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/mollusks">Mollusks</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/insects">Insects</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/spiders">Spiders</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/worms">Worms</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/plants">Plants</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/flowering-plants">Flowering Plants</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/trees">Trees</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/fungi">Fungi</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/mushrooms">Mushrooms</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/molds">Molds</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/bacteria">Bacteria</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/algae">Algae</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/protists-or-protozoa">Protists</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/archaea">Archaea</a></li> <li><a href="/docs/discover/viruses">Viruses</a></li> </ul> <div class='footer-section footer-section-nmnh'> <a href="https://naturalhistory.si.edu/research/eol"><div class='nmnh-header'>EOL is hosted by:</div> <img class="nmnh-logo" src="/assets/nmnh_logo_bw-72cc01336737d61fba9c8c5cda8e2f549bd19ae44f2b0568a236f378761d53b3.png" /> </a></div> </div> </body> </html>
