Baby orangutan born in front of guests at Florida zoo

[@shay4ojibwa638]

Orangutan mothers are exceptional 💕

[@bfeldan1628]

I saw this mom and baby when I went to the zoo last week. So beautiful.

[@emilybazer]

aww this brought happy tears to my eyes! I found it so interesting that grandma was helping during the labor process. A sweet story in a world of chaos.

[@raintree3383]

This MADE MY DAY......Congratulations to Mama and bless her maternal heart.....what I find so interesting is how Primates show deep respect for mothers and never upset her by unwanted interactions...they leave her alone and don't stress her out. This is so important for her mental ,physical and emotional well being....a nursing mother has to feel secure calm and peaceful to produce adequate milk....this of course is true of humans...nothing lowers mild production like high stress.....we always learn from Animals....they are way more clued into Mother Nature then we have become...Best Wishes to everyone

Her bangs are kinda on point.

[@BJPalmerDC]

I thought the same😆. Mom is sporting that “Beatles” bowl cut still. Kinda looks like Lloyd Christmas. Watching her make her straw nest is simply amazing. God loves us and spared no attention to detail while creating an amazing earth. Beauty is everywhere. Even in Orangutan hair 🦧, Butch. Butch, that is a great name!

[@tamzter27]

This is beautiful 💜 Congrats mama and baby

[@randquadrozzi1280]

Orangutans are cool.

[@brandielambright460]

How sweet. Welcome to the world little one, and congratulations Momma! 🦧🧡🦧

[@EmmaDee]

I wish y’all could have gotten the birth on film showing how Mom and her Mom aided in birth.

[@A.Rose.G]

When they are sharing a moment in the beginning it looks like when humans are doing first photo poses. So touching.💕

[@seangarland7665]

Welcome to the world 🌎 New baby 🙈

[@conniekorcsmaros3499]

[@pamelabraden8760]

[@nickauclair1477]

All that concrete is depressing.

[@michaelvillarreal1225]

Amazing news for the Species Survival program and orangutan conservation! I love great apes!

[@patsymains4805]

So beautiful

[@monicascott2354]

Holy hayell! That's crazy!!!

[@yennyku5240]

She deserves dignity and privacy. Sweet little baby tho.

[@holylandfan3275]

They should name her Jane, after her keeper.

[@tatertott2390]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you mean the lady having a stroke while talking because shes so old?

[@catherinemushaw1956]

Why didn't you show the birth ???

[@mariateresasalvador3257]

I name her Fortune

[@michelefisher5171]

Wooooow! That is spectacular! Happy tears! ❤️

[@elvirafernandezfernandez2005]

[@lindatackla427]

[@arunavamondal5088]

Awesome

[@marinamartinez6886]

That would be a great place to visit ❤

[@marypritchett1267]

Give the lady some privacy!

[@kathykellner3207]

Happy Birthday Baby. 🐾💖🎂

[@tammyjackson5622]

SUCH A CUTIE!!!!

[@kwitseo]

This is nice.

[@sislertx]

Theres a reason they runoff the dads in the.wild...this may not be a happy ending.

[@thelil]

Very incorrect

[@shellos8]

There are 5 babies there. Obviously the adult males haven't hurt any of them. They're fine. Pretty sure this zoo knows what they're doing.

[@euniceprobert9060]

The fathers don't get involved in the wold because resources are scarce. If Dad was there, there would be less food for Mum. In a sanctuary/zoo, there is plenty of food and shelter and they are SAFE from HUMAN HUNTERS. SO then the fathers can be involved. I do wish people would be more educated before they throw accusations around. We humans are the biggest threat to orangs. If we've helped just a few of them, then that's good.

[@Moon11067]

Just adorable.

[@av8tore71]

Here's a name in Indonesian.....yang cantik

[@jeanniesherman3591]

Name her.....NORMA JEAN !!!!!!!!!!

[@beatricecallan]

OMG, now I have a headache!! Lady stop speaking, it’s really painful to listen!! I wouldn’t want anyone at home or work like her, I‘m sorry, it‘s not personal, but I couldn’t cope honestly......try to speak a bit slower and not screaming.....please......

[@reesecarr2105]

KEEPING THESE POOR ANIMALS LOCKED UP while you exploit them is awful!

[@nuttybar9]

Better than them being poached and having their babies stolen from them.

[@tatertott2390]

The throwing of 1/8th of a apple at a time is what gets me.....who TF is in charge??? They just throw BITS of food...TSHIRTS 🤷🤦 and bedding at them!! Absolute worst set up!! Im guessing that lady so old ahe looked like she was having a stroke while talking is in "charge" smdh .

[@fordtuff2600]

@@tatertott2390 You really sound ignorant tater ...

[@fordtuff2600]

Then I suggest you becoming an active member against poaching. You need to educate yourself and grow a pair for that kind of reality...keyboard Karen's do not contribute anything worthwhile to the cause...

[@reesecarr2105]

@Timothy O'Mara then you live there.

[@suetaylor1127]

GREAT! Now count them in all zoos and sanctuaries then tale them off of the endangered species list. TURNS OUT ORANGUTANS THRIVE WHEN PEOPLE TAKE CARE OF THEM. THEY ARE NOT ENDANGERED.

[@44alwaysrightjlp]

This womans voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

[@myehachard7793]

🍎 🍏

[@tatertott2390]

All these apes are skinny AF!

[@janetjohnson7279]

👍🏻

[@sp4604]

name him Brady. after the GOAT

[@shellos8]

The baby is female.

[@Turtle206]

This makes me sad, what if the roles were reversed and you you were stuck in a prison like this.

[@gobigorange]

trump has a new sibling

[@tatertott2390]

Why not just feed them! Throwing 1/8 th of a apple at a time i hope someone is sitting there throwing them all day! They are all skinny

[@janadogan302]

This woman that is speaking is trying to make the public believe that these animals have a wonderful life. They are locked up on a cement prison against their will. This poor mother had to give birth on the cold ground with people staring at her. Would this woman who is speaking like her grandchildren to be born like that. If they cared she would have been isolated. Why are these animals being breed on captivity? Money. It is sad that humans do this because we can not because we are superior. Zoos serve no purpose but to torture these animals. They have NO quality of life. They committed no crimes. All zoos should be closed. This is a crime.

[@acm9711]

So are you against ANY type of professional assistance to preserve and care for an endangered species??

[@normacotter3377]

So beautiful
