Orangutan Mom Playtime With Her Baby Son Jarang

[@beverlyclary1033]

Sweet baby, just look at that smile on his face. Mommy and baby look so happy. That sweet boy isn’t going to let a disability slow him down! Thank you so much AT for sharing this one…it’s lovely!

[@denisemorris1177]

He’s just grinning.😁 Enjoying playtime with mom. I know with human little ones they do wait until they’re a little older before performing the surgery for the same reason. My sister and a cousin went through the same procedure and now have children and grandchildren. When the time comes, keep us updated. I will be praying for him. 🥰❤️❤

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

Oh God. I love his giant, way-too-big-teeth smile. Made my day!

[@ApeTracker1]

Thanks so much for watching. 🥰

[@mighj354]

Jarang's smile & laughing is so infectious!! He's always a happy baby. I hope this next surgery works. ❤❤❤

[@ApeTracker1]

He is a great little guy. Thanks so much for watching. 🥰

[@Vollkörnchen]

Süsser Jarang immer mit wilder Haarfrisur und übersät mit Holzwolle. 🥰

[@janie4773]

Jarang's big smile always makes my day! You can tell how much Jingga loves him. They are so happy together! Thank you again, Ape Tracker, for another great video!!

[@troyannbladsacker1811]

Precious baby. I do hope we hear something about his surgery. He has to be very uncomfortable from the swelling and I would imagine it is affecting his movement. It looks like the hernias have gotten larger. Prayers for Jingga and Jarang.

[@A.L.Gardner]

Always good to see that little face, he's making progress ❤

[@carolpountney7627]

My little hero Jarang just getting on with living the adventure of life. Jingga still caring for him which is great considering his current disabilities. Live life to the full Jarang, once you have that hernia operation you will blossom in leaps and bounds❤

[@imogen2092]

I love this baby boy as if he were my own. His teeth are glistening. All smiles ❤🦧❤️

[@svinwonderland]

This made my day ❤

[@maryalberda3993]

How adorable..baby looks so happy.

[@sandralgkk]

Keeo going Jarang. As you get older mum wont be able to leave you lying in the hay on your own.❤

[@vjc2270]

Absolutely beautiful❣️ They’re really bonding well and enjoying each other these days. Jarang’s smiling face at 1:05 says it all. ❤ Thanks for another heartwarming clip, AT. 🤩👍🙏

baby Jarang...

[@ФатимаБайзулаева-г6ю]

Расти здоровым и сильным, малыш❤

[@4rsalways]

Will you PLEASE do an one hour UNEDITED video of Jarang? ❤

[@mske903]

no

[@Ape_Appreciation]

@4salways, you are really asking for way too much. In my experience the longest I can record is 12 minutes and that makes the file so big I struggle to upload on my editing apps. I only use my phone and I'm sure Ape Tracker probably have much more sophisticated equipment but one hour would be messy and probably boring, and frustrating to watch. If filming these guys is anything like filming at other zoos. The apes move around, sometimes quite fast amd you have to fight with other visitors to be able to get a decent view, moving from window to window, and you end up having loads of people who might not want to be filmed, faces and heads blocking the view. It's really hard to just to get 10 minutes, let alone unedited or longer. I wonder if what you are really wanting to see is the whole picture of what is going on in the room like what is Jinga doing while Jarangs trying to climb, where are they in relation to each other when sleeping. It's tough if you can't visit the zoo yourself, I get it and I have found that one of the most frustrating parts of watching many videos from many different channels of ape troops, orangutan groups. Again this is my experience but trust that the person filming is honest and is showing you and comenting the truth. There is absolutely no reason for any channel to give a false narrative, in almost all cases. If Ape Tracker says Jinga is playing and being more gentle or whatever they say then that is what they see, and they are the ones who are standimg there for hours watching the boring bits, editing the bits where a head got in the way or they got bumped and ended up jerking the camera around. Nothings perfect though and what you are asking for is almost impossible (in my opinion) except for a web cam or going there yourself. Sorry .

How many animals care for their young when they are disabled or ill..not many, it is simple necessity. This mum is exceptional! I hope to God of all creatures that it works out well for this little one ❤️

[@deebartho1934]

When is he getting his surgery?

[@linnaellis212]

That poor little guy, looking at his hernia(s), they are limiting him. If it were a comparable size in a human, the person would have some limited mobility too. I do understand why the zoo vets are waiting on a repair though, it makes sense. Jarang is doing remarkably well in spite of his limitations. ❤

[@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr]

They have already performed the surgery. I think the genital region looks worse than before the operation.

[@shawna6683]

@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yrBlackpool Zoo has put together a statement that the surgery will be performed again with a specialist. No timeline given.

[@patriciamorgan8359]

​@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr the zoo released a statement indicating that the surgery was unsuccessful. A second surgery is planned with a specialist.

[@lilianverge2754]

Il est temps peut être que jarang soit opéré son hernie devient de plus en grosse ,mis à part cela il est dynamique et c est bien

[@АлевтинаЗуева]

Как мы тут не восхищались его мамой , она ему не чем помочь не может . Судя по виду грыжа увеличилась , то есть рецидив .После операции должен быть период реабилитации , никаких нагрузок .Мамаша ему этого не сможет обеспечить , она этого просто не поймёт. Почему тянут с операцией , ведь может случиться ущемление , непроходимость кишки , он же может умереть .❤❤❤😢😢😢

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

I think these thoughts too. I suspect this is why he doesn’t eat solid food.

[@shawna6683]

Same here. Maybe the issue is the cost of the special vet and the cost for the zoo staff to provide Jarang with post operative care.

[@blancaespinosa3086]

To beging with, I don't believe there was a first surgery. There's no way he had being operated and returned to mom's enclosure. I know that my comments aren't what most of the followers of this page expect, but time will tell how big is Jarang's physical and neurological damage. And, believe me, I pray to be wrong in this matter.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

@@blancaespinosa3086 I am with you on that. Completely. I have seen him bang his head on those huge beams…ape tracker video…

[@nh-it9xx]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pettytilltheend9641]

Oh hey first to comment. He is getting so much stronger. He loves playing with his mama

[@traceyanderson3942]

He is getting stronger and seems quite happy. I am just worried now that he has a hernia on both sides of his little scrotum. It will become uncomfortable for him. I wonder when the Zoo will do the surgery?

[@janetseidlitz5976]

They are probably waiting for him to grow a little so there is enough soft tissue and skin to close the defect.

[@patriciamorgan8359]

The hernia has been bilateral since birth.

[@msdeviantdizzy]

They did do the surgery this summer, but it was unsuccessful. They're working on a new way to do it, a pioneering effort by a specialist doctor. Hopefully next time it'll work- fingers crossed!

[@dianemastriano5583]

He looks so uncomfortable “down there”. I thought he had surgery. But he’s so cute

[@shawna6683]

The first surgery was unsuccessful.

[@susannepotens5895]

What is she doing at his little pooper at 3.09 ? She is cleaning his backside ?

[@JJawsyW]

Why isn't his arms working properly. Seems underdeveloped and something is seriously wrong with his private area.

[@jimmyjames2903]

She's always squeezing his head. I wonder if that's what's wrong with him.

[@sandralgkk]

That's exactly what I was thinking ❤

[@msdeviantdizzy]

That's not what's wrong with him, don't be daft. He has a bilateral scrotal hernia and development problems from birth. If she was harming Jarang, the staff would never have left him in her care.

[@JennyMiller-rt4ue]

@@msdeviantdizzy There is an Ape Tracker video that show Jarang being carried on Jingga’s foot and hitting his head on one of those huge wooden beams. ( one event we know about, could be others, logically) I hate thinking it, but I do wonder if Jingga has harmed the lovely baby she loves so dearly.
