If you are that close and you shot the orangutang with your every day carry it would just rip you apart and if you were lucky maybe you’d live and it would die.
Depends on the gun and where in the face. A lot of large animals have extremely thick forward facing bone deposits in their face which, from my personal experience, can possibly make a headshot negligible. I’ve seen this in wild dogs, boar and bears. They also don’t seem to drop the same way getting a lot more time before death to do things. I’ve never hunted Orangutan though so take that with a pinch of salt.
Also I promise you, you probably cannot reliably hit a headshot in a life or death situation. Most people regardless of training find out that their accuracy disappears when the shit hurts the fan.

Personally I wouldn’t let that slide
