Sarikei Cradles Her Newborn Baby Orangutan

More amazing video of Sarikei and her newborn baby Orangutan at Chester Zoo
In this video we get adorable close up views of proud mother Sarikei affectionately cradling her baby
New mum Sarikei carries the newborn around, whilst on the hunt for food and for a suitable place for them to rest
On this visit, Sarikei seems keen on keeping the baby away from the rest of the Bornean Orangutan family, in the Realm Of The Red Ape at Chester Zoo, especially dad Willie, who has been showing a keen interest in his offspring
This animal footage is of the new 4 day old baby orangutan - a critically recently born endangered Bornean Orangutan Chester Zoo
Sarikei's older son Tombol, who until recently had his mother to himself! also makes a brief appearance in the video, as he stays close to mum and his newborn sibling
lets us know in the comments if there has been a baby orangutan born recently at a zoo or wildlife reserve local to you
and what is your favourite great apes zoo to visit?

The newborn Bornean baby orangutan featured in this video is only 4 few days old and was born early on 31st August 2023 to Mother Sarikei and Father Willie
Sarikei is an experienced mother orangutan who has had previous offspring including her son Tombol who lives with her and the rest of the Bornean Orangutans at Chester Zoo
At the time of recording this video Chester Zoo had announced the birth only days earlier and had yet to reveal the name and gender of the critically endangered newborn baby orangutan
Chester Zoo Baby Orangutan
Chester Zoo is has a very successful record of Orangutan births at the zoo and most of the Orangutan Mothers are able to rear their own young without the assistance of zoo staff, this is largely due to the expert care and facilities the World Class Zoo provides for the animals.
The current animal population have had valuable experience with babies and have observed relatives caring for young, using this learning and experience to enable them to rear their own offspring
Birth of critically endangered orangutan at Chester Zoo
Bornean Orangutans have been considered critically endangered since 2016 with an only an estimated 100,000 left in the wild. They are seriously in danger of extinction which makes the birth of this new baby orangutan very special indeed
Congratulations to Chester Zoo on the birth of the new baby orangutan from @apetracker
