Fifty staff and volunteers work together to provide round-the-clock care for Aurora, our infant orangutan at the Houston Zoo. Multiple caregivers ensure she does not get too attached to any one person, as our goal is to get her back with her orangutan family. Infant orangutans require as much care, love and attention as a human infant. After her mother refused to care for her, Houston Zoo staff took her into loving arms. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
It's great to see the effort the staff put in to raising this baby. No small cages for her! So important to realize that the baby needs 24 hour care. And I love that they expose her to other orangutans. I feel so sorry for other baby orangutans who have list their birth mothers. Even the babies in the rehab facilities don’t have this constant care. Bravo, zoo team!
This baby is very sweet and the caretakers are wonderful people.
Long Live Orangutans!
Beautiful girl, great job team 🙂

RIP little one
She's so pretty
Thank you for caring.
Sweet little baby
imo
You people rock!
imo
She is 10 years old now
Oh my goodness I'd love that Job the sweet baby orangutan is Soo Cute 😊😘
After 50 years she will get use to the exhibit I would imagine. But yes it is good for the baby to get sun. I think all orangutans chimpanzees and gorillas should be in the forest where they belong. Also thanks to all the caregivers
They should be but unfortunately we've screwed that up royally by destroying the forests. I'm just glad we have a chance to make that right.
I love Aurora .. so cute! I like the way Zookeeper lady on this video talks . She is full love and her staff is too . Praise God 🙏❤️❌⭕
愿“红毛猩猩”代代平安健康活着。。感谢你们的“爱心”付出。。。好人有好报

Bebe hermoso lo quiero para mi
That is a job I would love doing
Lol. They said it was good exercise for her to walk around the zoo. I’m unfortunately, she wasn’t walking. She was being carried
because all people are wearing face protection when they are with Aurora?
They don’t have to live in Borneo do they
@SuperPitbullMan so the baby doesn't catch any diseases from the human caregivers,they can catch colds,infections easily from humans..
😻😻😻

The little monkeys are soo effing ugly 🤣 makes them cute tho 🤣🤣
What causes some Orangutans to reject their babies?. I thought they had a close bond.
The same reasons why some humans are bad parents, I imagine.
When they are in captivity and people put them in cages that's one of the reasons why they are traumatized and so sad because they don't have another body to clean to
Oh goodness sakes they are pets. Orangutans make the best best king living pets or family members ever. Hard work my ass they live playing with orangutans is awesome.
OK until their hormones kick in.
Orangutans are definitely NOT pets!!
What are these people saying? Really?
😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘
Beat?
Does the Houston Zoo also have a breeding program for big or lesser cats?
Kathryn Mitchell They have a lion program
If these things r becoming or close to being extinct why can’t they be turned loose in other areas or country’s with bigger forest
that's a good question. The answer is that the forest they live in has to have the right kind of trees for them to be able to find the food that they need to eat, and the leaves that they need for building nests. The trees also have to be the right kind for them to be able to live in the canopy, where they're safe from predators. In the wild, they never touch the ground until they fall out of the tree dead. The trees in Borneo, Sumatra, and the Amazon provide the fruits that keep them hydrated and healthy. So, they wouldn't be able to survive in other kinds of forests. The rainforests that they depend on only exist in a few countries, and are shrinking. It would be amazing if they could be able to live wild in other areas, but they simply can't.
Do you get paid to be an idiot?
@@williamsmith666 fuck off
And be safe
Perche l' hanno tolto dalla madre ? Non è normale dividere i neonati dalla madre , Neanche per gli animali, poveretto
Orangutan is just like human baby.... it takes lots of time to survive on his own..... so he wont be able to exist in this universe...
It takes 5 to 6 years to pregnant and again 6 years to separate from his mother..
Why do u where the mask for?
Because orangutan is sensitive and prone to desease just like human being. If the caretaker got flu or cough the orangutan will get it too.

"We'll walk around the zoo at dusk, and that's good exercise for her."
Good exercise for who, the orangtuan or the keeper? As far as I can tell, the keeper is literally just carrying the orangutan around...
They are speaking of her clinging while the carwgiver is walking,and her getting to see and hear the other animals so she will be use to the sounds and it won't be scary,sitting in a tiny room ,is not doing snything for her.
Orangutans at her age wouldn’t walk around. You can see she’s so young she can barely move. She would be with her mother the entire time.
Orangutan babies are for all intents and purposes human babies. You wouldn't try to force a newborn human to walk lmao, on average in the wild they stay clinging to their mothers almost exclusively until they are 1 year old, then they start climbing around by themselves little by little. Males stay with their moms until about 9 years old and females a few years longer to learn how to raise babies from their mother when she has her next child. Just look how tiny she is, walk around? lol They rarely walk on the ground in the wild because of Tigers, Leopards, poisonous snakes, monitor lizards etc their child rearing length is second longest in the animal kingdom only next to humans.
Don’t want mothers to reject their babies? Don’t keep them in cages.
Sempre a mesma coisa ,tiram da mãe.Pra humanizar o bicho ,depois dizem que vão ensinar a ser bicho de novo
And she'll live 2.5 times longer then wild orangutans. But don't be complaining about taking care of her because people would like tens of thousands of dollars to do what you people do.
Good exercise?? She sint walking she clinging! All they do is eat and shit. And they arent babies.
It should be ILLEGAL to emprison these amazing animals in their tiny zoo exhibits. They are essentially in jail. Send them to a sanctuary in Borneo!!!! This is disgusting.
Their forest habitat is quickly disappearing as the trees are cleared for logging and row after row of oil palms are planted. There are a few sanctuaries that take in the orphans whose mothers are killed by poachers, but they do not have unlimited space for releasing the adults after they are rehabilitated. They are doing the best they can. The captive orangutans in zoos may be the only ones left in another 50 years.
Ненавижу этих обезьян
Drop em in boiling water like they do lobsters
All these zoos and so called sanctuaries will come up with any reason to hand raise any ape species. Just an excuse to have a cute pet that you get paid to have, with none of the responsibility.
Let the orangutan to have freedom...its so sick to let ger stay jn a cage....to all the people its hard to live like prisoner. Return the orangutan in borneo where they have a winderful place for them.
😘😘💗💗
