Mom Kisses And Cleans Her Sleeping Baby Orangutan!

Now baby Myrtle at Chester Zoo is 1 year old - take a look back at when Baby Orangutan Myrtle was aged 2 months old
More previously unreleased footage this video continues with adorable sleepy baby orangutan Myrtle in mom Sarikei's arms. Bornean Orangutan baby Myrtle was exhausted after being in outside in the fresh air and having a big feed from mom ! While the baby was sleeping mom Sarikei took the opportunity to relax and to clean her precious baby's face, showing her with motherly orangutan kisses, she makes sure to gently clean the baby's eyes and ears, she is so gentle that baby Myrtle hardly flinches and continues to sleep contentedly !
Also in the video Sarikei keeps an eye on her older son Tombol who gets a fright as he suddenly spots a keeper who interacts with him through a small window in the enclosure
Recorded November 2023

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
