Orangutans are pretty docile creatures. They are normally solitary creatures however the females will sometimes be social with other females as well as their own offspring. Males however are very solitary and they will show aggressive behavior to other males. When males square off they will make a lot of vocal noises sometimes physical combat can occur, females are not violent at all. Males will usually try and avoid all other males and females because they like to remain solitary. The only time they interact with others is when they are looking for females to reproduce with and somehow they encounter other males who are doing the same thing, which usually leads to fights.
They dont usually show predatory behavior to other animals because they mostly eat plants however they have been known to hunt and eat slow lorises. There also is not a lot of information regarding how they interact with other species of animals, my guess is that since they are pretty calm creatures they dont have huge issues with other animals, besides humans of course.
