Heartwarming Baby Orangutan Cuddling Mom ! #shorts

First Time New Mom Orangutan Summer and her baby boy Rufus, it is always
great to see her holding him close.
1st time mom - Summer gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Sunday 28th April 2024

Huge congratulations to Blackpool Zoo and the team a brand new future playmate for little Jarang!
Ape Tracker has captured these first glimpses of the critically endangered Bornean orangutan baby

21 year old, Summer seemed to be coping really well with her new-born baby and first impressions were that she is a wonderful doting mom and the baby was feeding well during the visit. Summer was the last baby born at Blackpool Zoo before the arrival of baby Jarang 21 years later
Summer and her baby were sharing the same enclosure as Jingga and Jarang and the 2 moms were cohabiting well together
Kawan the father of the 2 baby boys was very interested in his new family and spent a lot of time watching them from the enclosure he is sharing with Summer's older sister Cherie.
Blackpool Zoo's Orangutan family are part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP)
The father of the new born baby orangutan 14 year old Kawan 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

There are currently 6 Bornean Orangutans in one family group at Blackpool Zoo consisting of adult females Cherie Summer and Jingga , Alpha Male Kawan , baby Jarang and the new male baby orangutan Rufus

These are my all-time favorite apes. They are so living and intelligent. They love their children so much and treat them with so much love & kindness. Sometimes I forget they're apes and think of them as humans just like us. Look at that love she gives to her child. What patient she has. She is beautiful and so is the baby. God bless them both and may they live a long happy and fruitful life together as a family. I love orangutans. ❤
