Adorable Baby Orangutan Playing With Brother Will Melt Your Heart !

[@jimmyjames2903]

It's God's blessing that that poor little baby Has survived this long.

[@pamcunningham9608]

It would be interesting to have a physiotherapist consult about Jarang and see if there are behaviors the care team might be able to encourage him to do as part of a PT regimen.

[@jimmyjames2903]

Most Definitely but he also has mental issues.

[@A.L.Gardner]

The difference in him is amazing, he's building up strength in those arms. They're keeping the leg riding thing going which is probably wise, it works for them and he holds on well now. ❤

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, I thought this was the best I had seen him, he really seemed to have more determination and confidence in himself A.L. 🥰

[@Elsa-zr8qd]

Great job climbing baby J!!! We are so proud of you! Working on your strengthening! Getting good exercise! Mommy comes to save you when it’s time! Great job you two! I’m proud of you too mommy!!❤️❤️

[@ApeTracker1]

Thank you so much Elsa 🤗

[@Eric-1983]

Little man's getting stronger and braver every day! Way to go, Jarang!

[@ApeTracker1]

He has certainly made some good progress, this was a really good visit. 🥰

[@emmyjj5612]

God, I just love the little guy. If only he knew how many smiles he brings to our faces. He's such a gift in this rather turbulent world.

[@ApeTracker1]

It is quite uplifting to watch him, nice to hear some positive news for a change. 🥰

[@denisemorris1177]

Our sweet little boy Jarang. Love seeing you crawl around getting stronger and stronger. There’s brother Rufus. 🥰❤️❤️

[@ApeTracker1]

He is certainly gotten stronger Denise, I can't wait to get back a watch him some more, it was a wonderful visit. 🥰

[@denisemorris1177]

@ Me too. I am so impressed with him. Each day is a beautiful testimony for him. To see him crawl and climb brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you for sharing such great joy.🥲

[@richardschlotman7812]

I just love this little man and mom👍

[@mighj354]

Look at him go & he was like leave me alone Rufus I'm trying to climb! I loved how he looked around like is someone going to get him away from me!! Love the video, thank you❤❤❤

[@ApeTracker1]

It was great to watch them together and Jarang's awareness seems better. 🥰

[@debbieharrison8424]

Fantastic video. I’ve been wanting to see jarang climb. I was cheering him on as he began to climb. Saying go little one grab hold you can do it. I think he was quite proud of himself. I think he’s a super hero baby to a lot of us!

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes he is so determined to achieve things. 🥰

[@Sammy-kn2nb]

Oh gosh this little has my heart completely ❤. Seeing him scoot around and trying to climb up is amazing. I want to see him just pick up and go one day ❤

[@ApeTracker1]

Me too, I think that day is coming, he is getting so much stronger. 🥰

[@USNVET81]

He’s just so happy with the world

[@ApeTracker1]

He seems to be doing ok now, the zoo has done a great job. 🥰

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

You can see him thinking things through. I love how determined he is. And JINGGA came to rescue him when he was stuck.

[@vjc2270]

100%! He may have had some physical issues, but there’s nothing wrong with his little brain. He makes a plan and sticks with it until he wins❣️👏🤩

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, Jingga saw him from the other enclosure and came to him pretty quickly. 🥰

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks Vjc 🥰

[@vjc2270]

Just look at him working those legs! 🤩👏 Sweetest little man is getting stronger every day.🥰 2025 is going to be The Year of Jarang❣️😍🎉🥳

[@ApeTracker1]

He is certainly using them more, can't wait to see him building strength. 🥰 Thanks as always Vjc. 👍

[@BettyThompson-qn7cl]

My little one is getting stronger and so determined. I love you Jarang ❤😘

This was certainly the strongest I have seen him. 🥰

@@ApeTracker1 Great to see the little Kid making Progress !!!

[@bees5461]

LOL near the end when Jingga gave Summer the side eye.

I think Summer is queen to Jingga’s princess :)

[@bees5461]

Yes for sure. Summer is one of Jingga’s older sisters and she shows it. Cherie is also older. Jingga is the youngest and she definitely gets picked on especially by Summer.

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, there is a little tension between them both.

[@ApeTracker1]

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

@@bees5461 aw :(

[@jimmyjames2903]

She holds him down where he can't hardly breathe. She has a pin between her.

[@PamPreston78]

He knows what he needs to do and he’s trying so hard, chose a bad place since the metal behind the fence prevents him from using it.

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, he headed straight over for it, he really fancied a climb. Thanks as always for watching Pam 🥰

[@АлевтинаЗуева]

Очень интересное видео . Джаранг попробовал зацепиться с синюю ленту , но это ему пока трудновато 😅, но ленту поймал молодец , а на решётке показал ,при помощи малыша Руфусика , как он крепко держится за неё . Руфус не смог его оторвать , хотя в этот момент было за них страшновато , Молодцы обе мамы , очень хорошо разрулили ситуацию❤😊

[@ApeTracker1]

Большое спасибо за просмотр, мы очень ценим это. Хорошо держаться 🥰

[@janie4773]

Jarang is getting more mobile and stronger with each video!!! He is still happy to swing along on Jingga's foot. When Rufus comes up, it looks like Jarang is telling him to leave him alone, it's his climbing area, LOL!!! Thank you again Ape Tracker, for another great video of Jingga and Jarang!!!

[@ApeTracker1]

It was wonderful to watch the two babies playing together, it will be so good for Jarang's development and strength building. 🥰

I love how he stretches out on her leg and watches the world below …

[@ApeTracker1]

It was great to watch them both. 🥰

[@secretariatgirl4249]

I think Jarang is choosing the leg at certain times because it is easier for him to wrap his arms and legs around and feel more secure due to his coordination problems and weakness. His strength is not developed at this point and may remain out of balance so he will need to adapt his own methods.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

I don’t think he knows another way at this point.

[@secretariatgirl4249]

@@JennyMiller-rt4ueprobably true. He can cling to his mom's torso while she is seated or lying down, but when she moves he's safer on her leg.

[@emmyjj5612]

That's the exact thought I had! Plus, she grips his leg with her foot, so he's much safer than if he had to cling to her body. She adapted from day 1 - it's the judgmental humans who were/are criticizing her who were/are the idiots!

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, and I think it gives opportunity for mom to keep hold of him for extra security. 🥰

[@ApeTracker1]

[@marykelly2409]

Morning 🌅 baby Jarang ☺️❤️🐒🧸🍼❤ 12-22-24

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much Mary, glad you enjoyed. 🥰

[@jenniferlarsen7365]

Jingaa doesn't seem to like it when Jarang nurses. Is it because he's teething? On the other hand watching him climbing is very encouraging.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

Jingga has grown a bit, but not much. It’s just more clear she adores him…

[@Persey888]

And I thought he was eating solid foods now but we never see that

[@ApeTracker1]

quite probably, watching him climbing was amazing. 🥰

[@rosiepena8917]

I've never seen an orangutan mother carry her baby around like that. They usually carry them close to their chest when they move around but not this mom.

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, I think she has detected that he was having trouble holding on and she liked to secure him with her foot. 🥰

[@keithmuehsam8990]

Look at the cute face it makes. Like it has no idea what is going on

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed. 🥰

Does the zoo have any idea why his arms/shoulders are so weak?

[@ApeTracker1]

They have said that there is possibility of neurological issues that they are investigating. Hopefully he will start growing in strength. 🥰

[@cleiaalbertinamartinsdefre1864]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much for watching. 🥰

[@mentayflor]

Se escuchan pajaros cantar pero a Jinga y Jarang se los ve siempre enjaulados. ¿No tienen un espacio natural?

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, really glad you enjoyed the video, enjoy the rest of your week and keep well.

[@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr]

Jinga still carries him on her leg.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

the zoo says that she carries him on her leg because of his hernias and weak limbs. Summer cradled Rufus in the crook of her arm way past when Jingga was already legging it. She could have cradled Jarang for much longer … but she didn’t. For some reason, she is not comfortable with a baby on her body. I wish she could tell us. To her, i think the foot thing is safer for Jarang… Next baby, we find out :)

[@MegUSN52]

While it's not the norm, other Primate mothers, including Orangutans, prefer to carry their young by their feet. Mothering is just as varied between Primates as it is for humans. What works for most doesn't always work for all. There is nothing wrong with Jingga carrying Jarang with her feet, especially since he can't grasp with his hands because of his muscular coordination disability. I'm sure Jarang has had to adjust her mothering style even if we humans disagree with her methods. This is a fantastic video from Ape Tracker.

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, I think she always will now. 🥰

[@kate-ot5lv]

Is Jarang the smaller one on the ground or the one climbing?

[@АлевтинаЗуева]

Джаранг это который карабкается старше на восемь месяцев того кто на земле Руфуса .

[@ApeTracker1]

He is the one climbing Kate, it was wonderful to watch the babies playing together. 🥰

[@jimmyjames2903]

She won't let him eat properly.

[@fabulousfinds1045]

You mean "break your heart"

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much for watching. 🥰

[@K9_NINA]

Exactly! No one seems to have a clue what is going on here! The baby is clearly developmentally delayed ( I think there’s been head trauma) bc of the poor mothering skills .

[@angeladonovan1369]

At last Jingga did something sensible and helped Jarang!

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, she is really learning as a mother. 🥰

[@rosiepena8917]

It's so terrible the way Jingga removes Jarang the minute he wants to drink some milk from her. I hope he's getting enough nutrition but it definitely doesn't look like it. He needs supplemental bottle feedings cuz he is just too small and he is obviously not eating enough. Jingga is not a loving mother at all. She never holds him close to her or wants to feed him. It makes me so sad for Jarang.

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, I spoke in depth to one of the keepers on my last visit and they are giving him plenty of supplementary food. Hope this helps. 🥰

[@mona.barthelemy]

Il est vraiment maigre et faible petit Jarang pour son âge, sa mère ne lui donne pas souvent de son lait.

Thank you so much for watching. 🥰

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

Jarang is the sweetest little orangutan. Mom Jingga carries him on her leg and holds him securely with her foot so he doesn’t fall. As Rufus grows older he will want to play more with Jarang, and I trust the moms will supervise to make sure he isn’t too rough. 🧡🦧🧡🦧🧡

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, they will need watching FGT, Rufus is already a super strong little guy. I think it will be great for Jarang's development. 🥰

[@jincaviglia]

Tbey looks so underweight, unlike the jungle school orangutans in Borneo. A zoo is no place for animals with no trees or wildlife. They are being watched by all in the window and don't think they don't know they are some act of amusement. They eat hay off the ground and in dirt and who knows what is in it. They are surrounded by cement walls with barely any climbing apparatuses. They don't look happy or have any expressions of a smile. THIS IS MY OPINION, AND LET'S FACE IT. I AM RIGHT AND A ZOO IS THE PLACE FOR THESE INTELLIGENT LOVING ANIMALS

[@ApeTracker1]

@@jincaviglia this video only shows a small area of their huge habitat, one of the largest facilities in Europe designed specifically by primate experts for these critically endangered animals. They have off show areas and lots of climbing equipment not shown in this video including a large well planted outdoor habitat. All areas are available for them to use, however it is their choice and preference to be in the indoor area most of the time as it is temperature regulated for them. It is not ideal that these animals are in zoos but due to habitat loss, poaching and the illegal wildlife trade the numbers are critically low in the wild. Zoos are essential to prevent extinction of this remarkable species. Hopefully one day soon they will be safe and able to thrive in the wild

[@iggy602]

Steal no grass, no tree, no leaves… What a shame, such a bad environment… Ai least, they are alive…

[@MegUSN52]

They do have an outdoor enclosure. There are more orangutans in Blackpool Zoo's care. Jingga and Jarang have been separated from the rest of the troop because of Jarang's medical issues. When Summer had Rufus, they allowed them in with Jingga and Jarang. They have started allowing the father near as well. They are keeping them separate to protect Jarang from the rest of the troop. Orangutans in nature are solitary anyway.

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching. 👍
