Don't have a clue for an orangatane, however; a baboon is a different matter.

  I make mine quite a bit like my bunny... very small apple twist for a nose,
then a small birds body for the cheeks and the ridge leading down to the nose.
(draw ridge lines on the cheeks with a sharpie).. then two large eartwists
for the eyes.

If you really want to get creative, you can use a red and blue balloon 
together on the birds body to give the cool color effect of these guys.

IF you like multiple balloon animals, make two larger loops at the end and push
the ear twist eyes into these (like the "Rams Horns" if you've ever made a ram".Makes for one MEAN looking wolf.

And something I just discovered yesterday... make the ear twists a more
normal size (about a 1 1/2 inch bubble.) after you've made the twists, 
push them down between the cheeks and nose ridge of the baboon, the result
makes one way cool looking insect head. Perfect for that grasshopper, ant, 
or praying mantis. Don't make the birds body to large, two inch max.. you
will want to keep the entire head rather round.

cheers all,
