So amazing how she carries her little one just like humans!! They are such compassionate and intelligent creatures!! Thanks ZooBorns!! 👍🏾💕👍🏾

Wish my girlfriend had nipples like those!!! I would always have a milk mustache! 😳🤔😝🫢🤮

But they can change in a NY minute. Mom will die for her baby the dad can do some harm. Remember they are wild animals.

Welcome little one she waited so long to meet you and we are happy to see you as well!

[@conniewolf7300]

What's amazing to me is that they kiss, love, and care for their babies just like humans do! Yet some still refer to them as "dumb animals"!

[@Kim-lc3fv]

Such a proud and loving mama. ❤️

[@dbeazrn3934]

Orangutan Mothers are so incredible!! They care for their little ones so similarly to us, especially the way that they hold & feed them & I love to watch them. Gorilla Mums are pretty awesome & care for their babies, holding & feeding, like we do as well. Absolutely incredible!! Blessings to you all!!

[@amarchhabra2175]

As human beings there is no excuse - we have to save these animals - they are incredible!

Beautiful momma with her baby. It truly is amazing to watch them together. Every move she makes is gentle and with thought of her little one. We haven’t made our summer trip to the zoo yet, so thank you for sharing these great videos.

They live in a zoo. I’m sure they’ve got it covered.

[@emmas1082]

@@colinschafer5453 I hate to break it to you but some zoos have a policy of just letting nature take it’s course and letting the baby die if it’s not being nursed.

[@Brooklyn_Blansett]

Orangutan babies in the wild cling to their mother says that their mother can use both hands to climb. She is carrying this baby like a human. I also noticed that she didn’t have a lot of hair for him to cling to so that could be the reason why she was having to carry him. I also noticed that she is a very good mother.

[@MegUSN52]

The babies cling instinctively as soon as they are birthed. This baby orangutan and mother are doing great. Mama knows what she is doing. You cannot compare primates in captivity to primates in the wild. A lot of these primates in captivity have never been in the wild so they are not going to develop and act the same as their counterparts that grew up in a natural habitat. I’m sure you know this already though.

[@ollieandthebrat307]

Usually, an orangutan baby’s first instinct is to cling. This one hasn’t done so in any of the footage...is there something wrong with it or is its reflexes just a bit slow?

As much as I dislike seeing wildlife in zoos I am thankful for the success of breeding programs and hope they may find their way back to the rainforest - their rightful home.

[@patriciarobinson484]

Girl bye. They live a better life in the zoo than in the wild. They're hunted for meat and their skin in the wild so what are you talking about

They're critically endangered so these zoos are doing the best they can to give enriched lives to these apes. Zookeeping has transformed in great ways over the decades. Perhaps we can stave off the sixth great extinction... but it's not looking great, fellow Earthlings. 🌏🐒🦍💙🙏🦋🍃✨

[@egregiousfilmin4842]

I can't imagine giving birth alone and pulling the baby out myself 😱 aww her baby tries to bite her face when she kisses it, just like my youngest lol

[@jstajoy]

It’s trying to nurse on her lip. Many women gave birth on their own even just 100 yrs ago.

[@egregiousfilmin4842]

@@jstajoy lmao gee thanks for the science lesson... I simply thought it was cute, the similarities between the two different species (and yes, I know our genetics are similar 🙄). Women giving birth unassisted and without medical intervention has a high mortality rate for mother and baby.. my son would have literally died if he didn't have a fetal heart rate monitor (and me as well from hemorrhage/placental abruption) so I really don't give too many f***s about what is common a hundred years ago 👍 the idea is terrifying to me, I'm aloud to have my own opinions...

[@jstajoy]

@@egregiousfilmin4842 We are all allowed our own opinion. In MY opinion, you not giving two fcks about what took place to women that gave birth 100 yrs ago speaks volumes about you … so, bless your heart. 😁

[@egregiousfilmin4842]

@@jstajoy you came here and commented purely to try telling me my opinion is wrong and now you're taking what I said completely out of context. I meant compared to my own traumatic experiences then yeah whatever happened 100yrs before that is irrelevant in that moment. Sorry that the strength of women from 100yrs ago made no difference as my son's heart rate stopped. If you respect other people's different opinions then wtf are you doing here trying to counter what I originally said?? It's not that I don't care about anything from the past at all (that's a huge knee-jerk reaction...)but sure keep making stuff up in your head if it helps you feel superior.... If you recognize I'm entitled to my own opinion then wtf did you comment for in the first place? Lmao

No where was it mention your opinion being right nor wrong. Apparently in your mind you made that decision on your own.

Is it just me or does the umbilical cord seem to have a knot at the end of it at 0:22?? I’m wondering if Mom did this while separating it from placenta or if Vets stepped in to assist. Fascinating!! ❤️❤️
