Sumatran Orangutan gives birth at New Orleans Zoo
#1
It was believed that 12 year old Reese, the orangutan was pregnant. It is her first pregnancy and signs indicated April/May as a due date. Imagine the surprise when zoo keepers at the Audubon Zoo of New Orleans arrived to find her holding a new born. She is holding it very well too. Clearly she is a good mother and knows what to do.

There are so few Sumatran Orangutans. Having another birth is a cause for celebration.  Having  a first time mom do so well  is a happy thing.  No doubt she learned her skills from her mother.  The baby looks healthy and happy.  It just feels good to look at a baby orangutan snuggle with her mother like that.
