Cute Baby Orangutan Gets Hysterical When Separated From Favourite Nurse | Meet The Orangutans

[@deborahcustance2754]

Orangutan babies stay with their mothers for seven to eight years, so it is understandable at just three years of age that she wants to stay with her human mother. Thank goodness there are kind, loving and understanding humans there to help her. What a tragedy that it is necessary.

These beautiful primates watched their mother murdered by being shot upwards of around 50 times with a pellet gun when she falls to the ground still alive but blind they wack her to pieces with a machete. They will accidentally cut the baby. They then chain the baby up or put it in a crate about the size of a large dog cage. They are traumatized and you want to handcuff them to a tree? This will damage them even more. She would spend the first 10years of her life on her mother who teaches her where every source of food is how to build a nest and so much more.

such beautiful animals& chiquita was practically screaming NOOOO!

[@cynthiarogers2904]

What a precious baby. She obviously loves her surrogate mother. I would be more worried if she did not. The new team of caregivers is a great idea. Her independence will grow in a healthy, supportive environment. BRAVA CHIQUITA !!!

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Absolutely...Brava, Chiquita!! Good luck little Ape.....💖🍀👍

I know this is years old at this point but in case you still check this account, they did eventually get to release Chiquita into the wild successfully.

[@Hasnanembong]

Palm oil estates are not only found in orang utan's habitat. There are thousands of hectares in peninsular malaysia too where no orang utan lives there. The people working in the estates deserve their earnings from the hard work. Why put sand in their pots just because of a few greedy tycoons?

They seem very civilized and cooperative. They behave better, in a group than a bunch of kids, that age.

[@shayneoneill1506]

Thats not actually ideal though. Orangutaans are solitary. In the wild they prefer to be alone, only really socializing for mating and raising babies. So growing up means learning how to be without mama. But all babies in any species, even humans, have this, so this process of weaning is perfectly natural.

As naughty as she is, this is honestly so sweet, and it’s hilarious

[@CeltycSparrow]

I thought they rotated the caregivers frequently, so the Orangutans WOULDN'T get too attached to one carer in particular? That was definitely a full-blown temper tantrum though. She was NOT happy that Mommy left her to go back to the other babies.

[@Corzappy]

They said that Chiquita got attached because she was nursed back to health by that one caretaker, and then just stayed attached like that.

They should switch the rules and be able to steal the children of poachers. Then maybe they might stop poachers to give them some empathy. I'm just saying I would want to, but wouldn't.

[@shannon-maree7839]

OMG I'd be useless at the "separation-independence" phase because I'd be so attached I wouldn't ever want to let her go 💔😭💔 I'd sneak her home and raise her as my own daughter ❤️❤️❤️ lol OMG this is so hard because I know that the babies are orphaned and being raised to be returned to the wild, where they need to be, wild and FREE, but seriously I'd become so attached that it would break my heart a million times over when time to begin letting her become more independent arrived... Thank you to all of you who love them and keep them safe and protected and raise them to become independent adults who can return to their home and know that they have the absolute best chance out in the cruel harsh world 💜🤗💜

I seen them as a toddler because literally they are. When mommy leaves you, of course you’re going to cry but if every caretaker stuck with them to try to raise them then :( conservation would be very slow... you really have to be strong to do this type of work, I really commend them.
