热带雨林中很少发现庞吉德遗骸。对婆罗洲长须猪（Sus barbatus）清除猩猩（Pongo pygmaeus）尸体的观察以及猩猩头骨碎片的发现证实了来自非洲的证据，并表明野猪的捕食可能在猩猩遗骸的破坏中发挥了重要作用。
Pongid remains are rarely recovered from tropical rain forests. Observations of a Bornean bearded pig (Sus barbatus) scavenging an orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) carcass and the recovery of an orangutan skull fragment corroborates evidence from Africa and suggests that the scavenging of wild pigs may play an important role in the destruction of pongid remains.
