By Sunday Faxon had the lead, and he still held it-but barely- at the 18th tee, when he sent his tee shot far right towards the forest. "It went right through the trees and out it came."

In the forest, orangutans spend eight years under the exclusive tutelage of their mothers, learning to distinguish among 4,000 different plants, absorbing the details of location and fruiting time of every tree in a 100-hectare range.
