    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.

    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!

    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

    • @sarahbrown5373
      @sarahbrown5373 4 роки тому +6

      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.

      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...

      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.

    • @LocoGeorge123
      @LocoGeorge123 2 роки тому

      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.

    • @solitairecatnaps4444
      @solitairecatnaps4444 3 роки тому +1

      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.
