New Mother Orangutan Rocking And Patting Her New Baby

First video clips we captured of the new Bornean baby Orangutan at Blackpool Zoo
This video shows the First-Time Orangutan Mother Rocking and Patting her new baby affectionately
He is the first orangutan baby to be born at the zoo in 20 years
The newborn baby is a critically endangered bornean orangutan born to first time Orangutan mother Jingga
KZbin sensation Jingga has had social media fame before when a video featuring her went viral back in 2015 - viral video - monkey sees a magic trick
The video was filmed of her in her previous home Barcelona Zoo in Spain
Jingga move to her new home Blackpool Zoo in 2017 to join her new Blackpool Orangutan family as part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP)
14 year old Jingga was born in Barcelona in 2009 to mother Jawi and Father Karl
Now Jingga is settled at Blackpool zoo and has given birth for the first time to the tiny baby boy orangutan which has yet to be named
The father of the newborn baby orangutan is 13 year old Kawan who has recently moved to Blackpool Zoo in 2022 from Apenheul Zoo in the Netherlands and was an instant hit with the resident female orangutans Cherie Summer and Jingga
He came to the zoo as part of the European Endangered Species program after his much loved predecessor Ramon was moved to a new group in Germany where he has just become a new father himself
Kawan was specially selected by experts to join the female group at Blackpool Zoo and has settled into his new role as alpha male orangutan very well
Enjoy this #animal video
New Mother Orangutan Rocking And Patting Her New Baby
We have recently added Blackpool Zoo to our list of zoos that we will be frequently visiting to film the apes, so watch out for more footage of this fantastic zoo. Blackpool has Gorillas and Bornean Orangutans and we were really impressed with both areas.
There are currently 5 Bornean Orangutans in one family group at Blackpool Zoo consisting of adult females Cherie Summer and Jingga
Alpha Male Kawan and the new male baby orangutan

The Baby looks skinny - Look all the bones a shining under how skinn - and lethargic is the Baby in my eyes also - watched hunderds of Orang Baby vids (zoo, BOS, ….) and this tiney little boy does Not Look Good at all !!! Please help the mother before it is to Late for the Baby !!! 😢- the Video is allready 3 days old. Is the Baby still alive ??!😢😢

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching Nick, we have an update video coming out tomorrow 👍 Hope you are having a great week.

[@randquadrozzi5850]

Baby seems lethargic compared to other babies I've seen and most are attached to mom all the time.hope it all works out

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, we hope all goes well with mother and baby, the zoo staff are monitoring them both closely. Thanks for watching. ❤️

[@nburnette3711]

There is definitely something wrong. Could be starving, could broken arm(s) from being dragged around, could be head trauma. I don't think the mother intends harm, but she and the baby need help.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

And skinny and despondent

[@ThreeBlackSweaters]

Yes def wrong there. And orangutans forage all day for fruits not sitting in the ground eating hay. Not normal and sad that more care isn’t being taken when this may be a way to help populate an increasingly endangered species I the wild.

[@teresatavano9847]

Vi siete confusi! Più che accarezzare il piccolo, sembra che gli dia le botte in testa, per favore non dite che è una buona mamma

[@ApeTracker1]

Grazie per la visione, lo apprezziamo davvero.

[@wendysomers810]

"Um, Mom, I appreciate the attempt to burp me, but could you slow it down just a wee bit?" (0:19) "Oh yeah, also, I think you are supposed to feed me before you burp me."

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, she is a bit inexperienced but is getting there. 🥰

[@wendysomers810]

Is Mommy Jingga's behavior with her newborn infant not a bit strange or off? Doesn't a mom let it's newborn cling to her and nurse right after it is born?

[@ApeTracker1]

She is a little unconventional but when we spoke to zoo staff they said she was making some progress. Thanks so much for watching. 🥰

[@sapphire48481]

I feel horrible for this baby. I don't think it's getting the right attention that it needs. Has this changed? It will bother me until I know differently. God, please protect this family.

[@Greylock21]

Isn't this the baby that just passed😢❤

[@Sassyglbeauty]

@@Greylock21no. They are still releasing videos of these 2.

[@mabell922]

There is obviously something wrong with this baby . It is unable to work its hands or feet to cling to its mother .

[@leslieann54]

Chìld is nursing well ? With no other mothers to learn from maybe videos would help mom with her skills ? Worth a try other zoos employ videos😂❤

[@gervaisechristiansen2991]

As others have commented this baby does not appear to be thriving. I hope you will provide updates about this concerning situation.

[@DeniseWaghorn-ok2gj]

So where is the vet in all of this and the animal keeper these animals can hardly go to the fridge an kitchen to get their own food ?

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, the keepers are monitoring them both all through the day. Keep well and have a great weekend. 🥰

[@hollisblinn7910]

This tickles me every time I see her with her baby. I always think how lucky she is it's not a human infant or it would be screaming its head off. This little guy doesn't know anything different and he's always so calm no matter how gruffly she handles him. She's young and just inexperienced; she'll be a good mom in no time.

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, hopefully all will go well for these two 🥰

[@deebartho1934]

Please, please protect this precious baby, it does not look well. Mother needs to feed and cuddle baby. Please don’t let it die, do what needs to be done to help him get strong and grow.🙏🏻

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, the zoo staff are watching them both very carefully, so hopefully all will go well. ❤️

Aww. Poor little guy

[@sandrawatkin2043]

Mother and baby are doing well, as per Facebook post a few days ago by Blackpool Zoo.

[@ApeTracker1]

They seem to be getting by ok, thanks for watching. 🥰

[@JJawsyW]

That baby needs to be clinging to momma. For it to be as old as it is it doesn't look good.

[@ApeTracker1]

Hopefully all will go well, as soon as we get back to the zoo we will get an update video out.

[@horsdecombat]

I hope the zoo is consulting with experts around the world as to what might be done to improve Jingga's mothering. I hope for the best for all involved. ❤❤❤

[@amylyon2673]

In reference to other infant orangutans that are 2 months and 16 days, this baby looks dehydrated and with not good color. They can be reunited only if the baby lives. This is not a play thing for the first time mom and zoos, while they may want to keep things "natural" and with mom, has the duty to protect the life of this baby.

[@sandjoy54]

I agree! She's new and very awkward. Sits the baby up like he's in a chair, bless his heart. And he's too young to sit up like that. How old is the mother? She seems young too.

[@sassysister8552]

I could watch these interactions all day, so sad when the videos end - What an adorable, tiny infant that'll toughen up quick with Mama's aggressive rocking which was amazing to see.

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. Keep well and enjoy the weekend ahead. 👍

​@@ApeTracker1é normal ser magrinho assim?? Por que a mama está assim com o filhote?? Tem videos recente deles??😢

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@dreamcatcherjulie1]

I love the videos that you put up. However I could not even watch this whole video. That baby is definitely malnourished. I am familiar with the bonding time needed but that baby is going to die without intervention. They need to step in and take over for the baby until it is bigger and stronger then re introduce to the mom. Jinga is doing her best it's just not enough and I am not sure what the purpose of your video is. Is it to make people aware of the dire situation? or to show a starving baby orangutan? Any person seeing this can tell that the baby is bones, I am in the US but someone over there needs to take control or that poor baby is going to die. I am sorry to be blunt but this is too sad to even watch. JInga is great but she needs HELP with her little one. Anyone with anyone influence or power with the zoo needs to step in if the zoo is ignoring the situation.

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it. The zoo research team is monitoring them both closely, we are hoping to get back to the zoo soon for an update video. ❤️

[@Wordplay7891]

You sound like you know your stuff…how many years of experience do you have working with these animals? Have you ever even seen an orangutang outside of KZbin? Maybe we should let actual experts that have around these animals their whole career decide what’s best for this baby

[@troyannbladsacker1811]

Three months later and still no change. I'm in the USA but certainly someone should step in to care for this baby. Look at more recent videos and the baby is still not thriving. He looks very weak and malnourished. Can you speak to some of the zoo staff? This is so traumatic to watch. 😢

[@АлевтинаЗуева-п1я]

Детёныш умрет у такой мамаши

[@ApeTracker1]

[@mattjones5987]

She looks a little rough with him, and his instinct should be to grab fur with both hands & both feet

[@ApeTracker1]

She can be a little heavy handed. 🥰 thanks for watching. 🦧

[@julierecker2416]

usually when you see an inexperianced mother patting and rocking the baby like that is because it's crying, which is a shrill cry, and she doesn't know what else to do. She doesn't have mothering instincts to hold it close and let it feed till it's full and satisfied. The times that I've seen that happen the zoo will usually step in right away and find a way to help the mother. She can easily cause injury by patting him too hard on his head.

[@HoiaPolloia]

Little baby is so tiny.

[@ApeTracker1]

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

[@catg.9034]

1:43 Mom is repeating what the zoo staff has taught her. NO wild orangutan 🦧 has ever displayed these behaviors. I'm not sure if the staff teaching her these behaviors are a good thing or not. Time will tell.

[@klon6390]

0:45sg in the video. Look at the left leg. Isn't it dislocated?😶😶

[@itiswhatitis7639]

THE ZOO NEEDS TO START MAKING SOME DECISIONS ON THE WELL BEING OF THE BABY!! THEY WILL BE ALOT OF PEOPLE UPSET IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THAT BABY AND THEY DID NOTHING !! IF THE ZOO DOESN’T HAVE THE MEANS TO TAKE CARE OF IT, THEY NEED TO FIND A ZOO THAT WILL!!!

[@ApeTracker1]

They are monitoring them both closely and have some amazing staff at the zoo. Thanks for watching, keep well. 👍

[@horsdecombat]

This is very sad to see. Maybe they gave Jingga a doll to practise with before she had the baby, and was rewarded for 'patting' it. I'm hoping that a more recent video will show an improvemen, because right now she hasn'ta clue, and the baby is deprived. I also wish there was some communication from the zoo. Alot if people are understandably concerned, and it would help to get some input from the team looking after them. Also, what is the connection between apetracker and the zoo, if there is one. Anyway, one hopes for the best of course.

[@kate-ot5lv]

Baby is just precious but I echo other comments here concerning his health. I hope keepers are monitoring mom & baby closely and that they intervene if they discover baby's not getting enough milk/nourishment.

[@ApeTracker1]

Yes, the zoo research team and keepers are monitoring both mum and baby closely, thanks for watching. 👍

[@catg.9034]

2:40 Here, baby's hair is standing up because she's freezing 🥶 cold❄️. You can see 👀 the goosebumps on her scalp. Because Mom's not 🚫 allowing her to cling, she can't get warm 🥵 and is burning more calories than it appears she's taking in. Baby is not 🚫 very active at all and her body seems weak and on the extremely thin side! God bless her heart 💜

[@ApeTracker1]

Although she is a very inexperienced mom and the baby does seem behind in his development as stated in the latest update video The enclosure they are in is always extremely warm and humid

[@Sassyglbeauty]

I mean, it’s clear this girl hasn’t really seen anyone taking care of a small baby. But, she’s doing the best that she can. If the keepers ever felt that the baby was in danger, they would take it in a heartbeat.

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much for watching, I really do think she is trying her best. 🥰

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

Jingga is doing her best. I wonder how long she was with her own mother? The baby must be tougher than he looks, but he seems so fragile and skinny.

[@KinjiKat]

Someone should tell the mother that her infant is not a dog...she pats it so hard. Then take the infant away and intervene on it's behalf...it doesn't look well.

[@lilianverge2754]

J aimerai savoir si aujourd'hui notre petit bébé se tient tout seul debout et qu il est un peu plus solide sur ses jambes pouvez-vous faire une vidéo récente
