Summary from article

Adriano Lameria, from the University of Durham, UK and his team found that orangutans are able to emulate sound from human conversation. An ape ,'Rocky' who was studied at Indianapolis Zoo in US, between April and May 2012, have produced sounds similar to words in a "conversational context".

This experiment observed for more than 120 orangutans from 15 wild and captive pupulations. The procedure of that experiment are by conducted a game where the ape attempted to copy sounds made by human in variation of tone and pitch. That was recorded for more than 12,000 hours. Then, the reaserchers compared the collected sounds. This research proved that orangutans have the potential capacity to control the action of their voices.

As you can see, in the first sentence, the usage of appositives in your sentences were not really accurate and some grammatical issues were occurred. However, I hope the above corrections would help you composing a good summary for the next practice. Good luck :)
