Orangutan Family Welcome A New Baby At Chester Zoo

A new baby Orangutan at Chester Zoo for mum Sarikei and dad Willie
In this video we get adorable close up animal footage of the new 4 day old baby orangutan - a critically endangered Bornean Orangutan
And also features most of the other members of the Bornean Orangutan family in the realm of the red ape at Chester Zoo - including:
Willie - Father of the new baby, Dot and Tombol
Sarikei - Mother of the new baby and Tombol
Tombol - Son of Sarikei and Willie
Dot - Daughter of Leia and Willie
Martha - Mother of Sarikei and Leia, Grandmother of Tombol, Dot and the new baby
In this video alpha dad orangutan - Willie was following Sarikei and the baby around quite a lot, maybe trying to get a closer look at his new offspring
Tombol was a little wary of him especially at lunch time, getting quickly out of the big alpha dads way to allow him to get to his food, Sarikei also avoided him and carried the baby off to another area of the indoor enclosure in the realm of the red ape habitat

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
