Baby Orangutan Waits For His Mom To Come Back

[@kate-ot5lv]

PLEASE! Take baby off exhibit and help him! This is so heartbreaking!

[@catherineprovo3203]

How can the zoo keepers not see what we see.There is defintely a problem in the babies groin area. He is 8 months old now and doesn't roll over, sit up, or crawl. This mama and baby need help.

[@conniewolf7300]

You may be right!

[@NaturalNumi]

It's very weird that she left him. Normally they don't leave their babies. And yes something should be done

[@DonnaOma63]

With a human baby they would possibly consider him a failure to thrive baby unless he has a medical condition we all don’t know about. I haven’t seen much improvement in Jarang. What I find quite disturbing is that this zoo refuses help from outside help. Nothing is wrong from getting help from outside experts. I feel just totally bad for the Jarang. Poor baby has no clue that his life could be so much more. Jinga is doing the best she can. Prayers for momma and baby. Makes me sad💔😥

[@nicknowskyt]

It's getting ridiculous now

[@MegUSN52]

How exactly do you know 100% that Blackpool Zoo is refusing help from outside experts? That is impossible. Zoos have to have experience with primates to be able to have them in their care. There is a process that they have to go through. You see very short clips into Jingga and Jarang's lives, which is only what Ape Tracker shares with us viewers. You have no idea what happens in their lives in 24 hours in this zoo. As Ape Tracker has stated numerous times, the zoo staff closely monitors Jingga and Jarang. Since Blackpool Zoo has not made official statements concerning Jingga and Jarang, we are all just speculating.

[@mighj354]

This is both sad & precious. Precious in the way that Jingga does really love that baby but she just doesn't know how to properly take care of him, but she definitely does try. I say sad because it's sad to see that baby like that. I don't think it's just an issue with her being an inexperienced mother & him being developmentally behind. I think that little Jarang has something wrong with him because he should at least be trying to move around or something. He doesn't do any of that & I've noticed he keeps his fists closed most of the time. Hopefully someone will "wake up" and look into this more so they can help both mommy & baby.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

I think he is scared.

[@Ottts22]

This baby is definetly behaving not normal. He should be clinging to Mom all the time. And when left alone they normally cry!

[@awillis244]

@@ApeTracker1answer the darn question

[@worldfamousjason]

The only halfway decent explanation is that he has something terminal or a condition that can not be treated surgically, and they are just waiting for him to pass. Again, the fact he is STILL on display to the public is beyond me. An 8 month old orangutan should have begun climbing and moving around independently. The enlargement in the groin looks to be a hydrocele.

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

I read that hydroceles in the testicle are not uncommon with newborn human babies and they often go away within the year. I hope the condition resolves itself and that little Jarang isn’t suffering.

[@worldfamousjason]

Perhaps watch some Jim and Joe videos from the Dudley Zoo. They are 1.5 year old orangutans and both climb and play on their own, with mom watching near by. And have done so for many months now. They were at Jarang's level of physical development by month two. As most orangutans are. @Amandmills21

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

I asked the zoo. They didn’t answer my questions: Why is on his back all the time…etc the things we all wonder, but they say that he has been examined by veterinarians and he IS healthy. The wording (which was deliberately vague, I feel) implied that he is just slower than other orang babies. They also said that I shouldn’t expect him to develop as a human baby does. I replied. I said that I am comparing him to other baby orangutan in other zoos at his age and sent them some photos. No response. They stonewall public interest. The zoo is tight-lipped. Either they don’t know what to do, or, they know now that they miscalculated and the outcome is what we have here. Zoos all over the world work so hard when the mother/baby bond is off. And come up with super creative solutions. Why doesn’t Blackpool? That said, they haven’t had a baby in 20 years, so maybe, they are out of touch or their staff are too inexperienced. Jingga seems disinterested.

[@ditzygypsy]

I’m surprised they even answered you. I am in Canada, but I tried to find the organization that overseas and inspects zoos with apes in the UK. I had no luck. It’s very confusing as to what body would be in charge of overseeing endangered ape care at a private zoo. I wanted to send a letter to whatever that organization is to see if they are aware that a endangered species infant appears to not be getting proper care, or if it is proper care and the zoo has had inspections, then to verify that. If someone can find the right place to send an inquiry, I don’t mind writing it, but I just don’t know who to contact. Thank you for telling us what they have said so far. Maybe the media in England could do a story on Jinga and Jarang and ask questions? Shed a little bit of a spotlight on the zoo and this situation?

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

They are a member of EAZA european association of zoos and aquariums….they will respond! That’s where I started. BIAZA as well. Wildwelfare is another one. I send pictures/screen shots. I have thought about approaching the Guardian for investigative reporting. The goal is help them, not discredit the zoo, so I hesitate with that one. @@ditzygypsy

[@troyannbladsacker1811]

​@ditzygypsy I just emailed Robyn Vinter. She is a correspondent with the Guardian When Jarang was first born, she wrote several articles about him. I explained this sad situation to her and asked her if she could possibly look at the videos and do an updated article. The more people find out about this precious baby and the mother, maybe something can be done. I hope she gets my email. I have prayed for this baby and the mother. I don't know what else to do.

[@dorothythompson927]

It’s plain to see that the baby has an enormous swelling in the groin and his whole body is swollen - stomach, arms, and legs. HELP HIM!

[@GGdmk]

I cannot claim to know the developmental milestones of orangutan babies, but I would imagine that this infant hasn’t been given the opportunity to build the muscles in his body due to the fact that his mother has never carried him all day and night ventrally as orangutan mothers usually do. Orangutan infants usually begin clinging to their mothers hair to some degree from birth, and the muscles in their bodies strengthen day by day from doing so 24/7. There is no doubt that this infant has missed out on normal muscle development due to his circumstances. I can’t say that he does, or does not, have a physical condition, but I believe he is simply suffering from delayed muscle development. Hopefully he will become more inclined to move himself about in the near future as he becomes more curious with age. More often than not, individuals with limitations figure out ways to work around their limitations, so I don’t see why he would be any different. Once he starts trying to move about, it will aid in strengthening his muscles.

[@ApeTracker1]

I think and hope you are correct, I have noticed the the Chester baby is doing some climbing but her mother is encouraging it, whereas Jingga does not. Hopefully we will see progress this year. 🥰

[@milliemills7263]

I love your comment and I completely agree with you. You do see most babies using their mums to climb and practise on. He might get that sometimes but she does leave him. He will work it out as he grows, and he is growing.

I agree with your observations in regards to the babies appearance and development. I do think that this baby could be helped even at this stage. The BOS foundation rehabilitates orphan babies some with emotional problems and others with physical problems or injuries. I'm not an expert just someone who loves orangatans and l would hope that there would be some group or organization that could step in due to the fact that this baby is not thriving and appears to have developmental issues.

I think it's interesting that so many people automatically ASSUME what the Zoo is doing or not doing based on the small snippets of time on these videos. 🤔 I do hope they are treating his "man parts" tho bcuz that doesn't look normal. My theory is that Jarrang has a disability. I enjoyed seeing him alert and trying to entertain himself while mom was gone. Mom seems gentle with him even if she doesn't do everything right all of the time. I'm rooting for them!

[@ApeTracker1]

The zookeepers are with them all day, I try not to video them working but they really work hard. Not sure if the baby has any underlying issues but hopefully not. Thanks so much for watching.

[@Oxynormal]

Disabled boy. It's obvious. Human kids and adults experience similar conditions. I was so mad until I realized, that it's a birth defect. The best interest of the baby is to be with mom. It's heartbreaking, but he's surrounded by his loving mother, and staff.

Like baby boys (human) they could be born with a hydrocele which is treated when they get a little older.

[@conniewolf7300]

Does he have an inguinal hernia?

[@ApeTracker1]

I'm not sure, I thought it could be hydrocele but that is only my best guess.

[@Axalotal]

That is an indicator of several severe health issues. Combine that with his hands constantly in fists or seldom straight when open, at 7 months can't even sit up without help, and a host of other issues. It all equals more than even the most experienced mother can handle. Jinnga loves her little baby but sadly is helpless to do anything to help. It is not an inexpeiamced parenting issue. If Jinnga was human she wouls be lovked in an apartment, her fridge filled with food and left to deal with a special needs baby with zero help or the ability to get/ask for any. Would you blame her in that situation?. Jinnga is just as much a victim as Jarrang. She gave birth to a baby woth something severly wrong and it looks like the zoo is doing nothing. That leads me to belive Jarrang has an untrearable condition. It looks like; from this video, she is given up. This is the first time she truly looks sad when being near him. For all those who want to leave comments saying I'm wrong - please warch all the other videos from an unbiased state without applying human emotions or conditions. And discusd from a place of science and not emotion. Yes, J&J are adorable ans I pray everyday someone interviens and helps mom and son. These two are by far my favoutote orsnfuan family.

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, I am unaware of any medical reports for Jarang so can't comment as to his health. I will say that during this visit there was a keeper at the enclosure all day attending to them.

[@troyannbladsacker1811]

@Axalotal I've always had a tender heart with animals. I've had horses, dogs and cats all my life. I'm just learning about primates. I love the orangutans the best. I just wish we could get some kind of response from the zookeepers. When one of my pets including my horses (I had four) showed some sign that something might have been wrong, I would watch them for a day or two, try to nurse them myself unless it was an emergency situation, and if they weren't improving I would bring them to the vet or for the horses, call the equine vet to check them. Most cases, I did the right thing by having the vet check them. I would rather be safe than sorry. With Jarang and Jingga, this situation has been going on since birth so I am very concerned. I'm from New Orleans, so I don't even know where Blackpool zoo is.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

Yes, she shouldn't be putting him down at all, And I worry that he's cold, lying there on his back outside, without his mother's body warmth. He doesn't act like he's uncomfortable though, and presumably would cry if he's really cold. He is acting more alert and using his muscles more, but is still very small and underdeveloped for 8 months. Presumably the zoo knows more about what's going on with him than they're telling. it's a dilemma because taking him away from his mother would upset her terribly and, if he really is sick in some way, would probably just make his condition worse, whatever it is. Separating mothers and infants is only done as an absolute last resort, when the mother is failing to feed it, to keep it from starving to death. That clearly isn't an issue here.
