Teenage Orangutan Learns how to be a Mother | The Secret Life of the Zoo | Nature Bites

[@treyjetson5320]

"Tuti is more interested in playing than being adult." I feel you Tuti.

[@burntumbrage6868]

Right?! How many (too) young mothers feel this way?! (Or honestly…any age mother? Frankly, is there any adult that doesn’t feel like a teenager still-?)

[@dreamcatcherjulie1]

I love how the little ones just flop backwards with their whole body and the arms just fall backwards. It's so cute.

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

Emma is quite clear with her messaging throughout this video. At different points, you can almost hear her say 'go away' (when Tuti first comes to play with her child), 'OK, that's enough for now, let's go' (when she first allows Kesuma to go play with Tuti) and 'girl, don't sneak up on me like that! You scared me!' (at around 6:35, when Tuti comes on her blind side and tries to pick Kesuma up, and Emma turns around like a shot to see what is happening.)

[@deborahnieling2315]

I watch Baby Orangutans for months now and for me they are the sweetest babies ever!!! And thanks to every care center in Borneo who saved Babies from the Pet trade and all the other sad Orphants! The good thing about a Zoo is that the baby's are really growing up clinging to mom and mom doesn't get killed off!

[@rosiepena8917]

I know.... I am obsessed with orangutans and gorillas right now. They are the most adorable babies. Chimp babies are cute too but the adults are kind of rough and crazy sometimes lol. There is a higher rate of chimp babies dying because chimp mothers aren't as careful as gorilla and orangutan mothers.

[@deborahnieling2315]

@@rosiepena8917 Absolutely, Gorilla and Orangutan Mother's literally pamper their babies, so adorable 🦍💕🦍🦧

@@rosiepena8917you should check out bonobo videos, they are basically chimps without the maniacal murderous rage! They make love, not war!

[@acm9711]

To see Tuti holding that baby on her hip and walking around is the cutest!! And when she was CAREFULLY trying to lay on her back and balance the baby on her feet I was holding my breath. But mom was right there and was watching closely but really trusted Tuti! This is the first time I have seen the babysitting training with a mom other than their own. Pretty remarkable given how fiercely momma orans are of their babies with ANYONE else. This was so great to see and truly appreciate the opportunity to observe these great creatures!

This is the most heartwarming video. Mama's eyes when she's monitoring Tuti around her baby is just wow, so much emotion in their eyes. How beautiful it was to watch Tuti playing mom with her baby sister. I seriously have to visit this Zoo, I always see such great photos of the animals there. I can tell they take really good care of them :)

The Secret Life of the Zoo is a fantastic program, the very best zoo program yet, past or present, makes the Bronks Zoo look like an amateur production done by grade school students. So exceptionally well produced, and the staff are a bit eccentric and wonderful, which really make the show!

[@jonaswhite5842]

[@TheCyberSpidey]

I think it’s a substitute for leaves. Wild Orangutans use leaves for all sorts of things: to make their nests, shelter from rain and sun like umbrellas, and bandages. The bags serve the same utility, but are easier to handle and make observation easy for Zoo keepers. Similar thing in Indianapolis zoo apparently, their Orangutan center looks nothing like a forest, but it’s designed to emulate a forest in terms of utility for enrichment of orangutans.

It is really disgusting to see these fraudulent and incompetent zoo keepers humanize these animals and force them to be ultra dependent on humans. It is not surprising, however, because they get more visitors and revenue when they breed more of these animals and pack them into that small, unsanitary and inhumane enclosure.
