Baby Chimpazee at the North Carolina Zoo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лис 2010
- Early this month, North Carolina Zoo staff made the tough decision to take their new baby chimp in for hand-rearing after it became clear that the baby's first-time mother could not adequately care for her. The baby is healthy and eating well and weighs 3 lbs. 14 oz. She is cared for by staff 24 hours a day and is carried by them most of the time except for brief periods in an incubator. The goal is to get the infant back into the chimpanzee group as soon as possible. She is shown to the chimpanzee group each day for visual socialization.

She is a twelve year old girl now! Having her own babies. I bet she is as sweet now as she was back then.

She is so precious. I'm totally obsessed with chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans right now. I can't get enough of these amazing, intelligent, beautiful, fascinating animals that are so much like us. This baby was a handful at feeding time. Looks like she liked her thumb an awful lot....just like a lot of human babies. I'd love to see her today, more than 10 years later. :)
When she will be an adult, look out
I’m obsessed as well.
I have also been binge watching video's about all of the above. This was 11 years ago does anyone know how this one turned out. I know on one video about Chimps the vet became cery concerned when a baby chimp began sucking it's thumb.
They need to catch these people who are selling leased orangutan but I know damn well you know it makes so much money off of killing these orangutans are baby gorillas and baby orangutans with stuff of this nature
@@ronniebuchanan6575 I'm a fellow "obsee".
I don't know if perhaps you were watching a video of a baby macaque. Poached baby macs are big business, complete with a type of organized crime surrounding it. They make it look like they are "rescued", that's the first video. There are some things that they get into. Baths, often in cold water so it shocks the nervous system and they scream and fight are a staple. They like hurt and sick ones. They get more views. Vets are never vets. These babies are illegal so no vet. And these babies are for exploiting, not for spending any money on. One of the more recent themes was monkeys sucking their thumbs and fingers. They did everything to stop it, actually taped their fingers together. One baby was forced to wear baby mittens on its hands and feet for months. These babies are so traumatized that they can develop self-harming behaviors. Sometimes one starts chewing its fingers and makes them sore and raw. It's not because of the sucking but tge chewing. They are hardwired to stay latched on to mom's teat and cling to her chest for about 12 months. It's how they get fed, get body warmth, stay safe and ready for mom to run away from danger in a snap. It provides security and love. So it's true they get milk but being latched onto a teat gives so much more.
These captive babies are in almost every case poached with brutality, moms fight. They are shot or killed and the baby jersey away. They are often significantly wounded.
Sucking a thumb or finger is their last and only way to self soothe. Not allowing that is another cruelty for entertainment.
There are ways to put cereal and milk in a bottle(a special bottle), so that he can suckle and get the cereal at the same time. I did this w/ my son when he was a baby. I'm sure it can be done with a baby ape, too.
Its antiquated practice. By the time I had my first child I was told to absolutely never put cereal in the bottle and by my daughter it wasn't even mentioned as it was assumed to not be done. I don't mean this in any kind of harsh way. I only say it bc it has 5 likes and it can cause choking. Even if "it worked for me and little Sammy is now a 6 ft 1 quarter back with an IQ of 170" it still caused enough choking and aspiration to be an issue, ya know? My youngest was born very prematurely and choked often, on regular fluids, often, to the point where i had to "bag".. ie get her to breathe...myself. I dont wish that helpless awful feeling on any parent. So ill continue to say "choking hazard" whenever I get a chance...out of love. I know your comment is "old" but not all that old. Still new enough that I figyred id take the opportunity in case someone out there sees this and remembers.
@@user-ob8ju4me6t Oh my goodness! I hadn't thought of that. That must have been really stressful, when you have a baby that chokes easily. I did this in the mid 80s, when my son was born...so, yep, I'm sure it's antiquated by now LOL. I remember I used a different type of bottle that was made for this purpose. We did so many things that were risky, and my Mom did even riskier things, I'm sure.
@@user-ob8ju4me6t that's funny I had my daughter granted along time ago lol but she threw up constantly no matter what formula she was on and she choked alot. So her doctor had me add rice cereal because the flap on her throat whatever it's called wasn't closing right so thickening her bottle she wouldn't choke and throw it up. It worked like magic within a month I had a skinny fussy baby to a chubby happy one. So you had your way I had mine. Whatever is best for the baby I say.
Love how it keeps sucking its thump, total human baby but much calmer, easier to work with. She should’ve just let it soak it’s thumb in the food and eat that way, lol. I think it wants a bottle not a spoon
Man, oh man, what a job to have. I would love to feed and love on this sweet little one. Just absolutely adorable. 💜💜
This baby is so cute!! The chimps & human babies have those same facial features & the head bobbing is a way to tell if they need it supported still or not. I watched closely & I saw that there definitely is a likeness!!! So sweet!!!! ❤🐒🥰
What a previlege to hold such a beautiful creature in your arms.
So human like. I just love watching the babies. I’d give anything to be a primate caretaker. Y’all have the best job.
Is there anything more precious than that sweet sweet baby. Thank god there are caregivers like these amazing people. ❤️❤️
Love the way it works it’s mouth so cute. I think the handler loves this baby.
I believe this was Nori, born in 2010. She was taken into the troop and started having seizures at age 5. The zoo worked with experts to address a neurological disorder. Nori passed at age 11. Very sad to know but the zoo did work with her best they could. Not every zoo does.
she is so cute. She reminds me of my son when trying to feed him cereal when he was a baby. Isn't it amazing that they are so much like us.
Chimps begin so small and cute but turn out to become great monsters when grown.
Oh my Goodness! How Adorable is that Baby!! 🥰😘
Gosh what a beautiful baby.
Tan bonito 🤗 gracias x cuidarlos
If the baby had a stuffed animal to hold on to ! It's instinct is to cling ! Then it would eat better
Good point. A lot of flailing is making it hard. Or if surrogates wore a "furry" vest 🥰
And a surrogate that isn't an idiot.
She just too darn adorable for words. Just look at those beautiful brown eyes 👁️👁️ !
They just hypnotizes you!!❤❤❤
Que ojitos tan hermosos 😍
Thank you for finally giving baby a bottle!
Baby is all iver the place. Little wiggle worm❤❤❤😂😂😂
She is behaving the same way my boys did when they took their bottle. Played with their hair.
I did the same. Played with my hair when I had a bottle of milk
So freaking cute. Someone should help you holding her thumb down.
What a little doll.
Love it!!!
It actually looked like the keeper who was spoon feeding the baby was doing “Here comes the airplane” with the spoon at first. 😍
Look at those eyes! She's beautiful!!!
The poor little love seems like he is either too young to eat from a spoon, or he’s overly tired and would much rather prefer the comfort and familiarity of his bottle. Maybe if they don’t wait so long to feed him, he might be a little more curious and willing to work a little harder at taking the food from a spoon, as several times he is seen fighting with the caregiver to get his thumb back into his mouth between spoonfuls of cereal.
I saw that! The baby wants to nurse from a bottle that is right next to the zookeeper.
He needs his mom badly. Where is she?.
In a different habitat for the time being, sometimes mother apes have trouble knowing how to care for babies. They might refuse to hold them or breast feed them so vets and keepers have to step in.
She's beautiful and like human baby.
Years ago they had Cereal Bottles that you could feed cereal with . That would help.
Why are you holding the bottle at the neck breaking angle? Geese bring it down a bit.
She wants a bottle
Soooo cute!!!!
Okay finally I see the bottle.
Thank you for holding her properly
She just needs to learn how to feed her.. she must not have ever fed a baby before.
Какой миленький, хорошенький, крошечка! Хотелось бы подержать, обнять !!!
Poor baby wants(needs) to nurse.
好可爱！愿菩萨保佑你们都安康。。谢谢分享
So cute, and like Human Children, sucking their thumbs !
São lindos esses bebês, pena que crescem!
Crescem como todos kkkkkk
I understand what you are trying to say,yet you come across quite snotty. The people caring for this chimp do understand what they are doing. There will NEVER be an equal for a chimp parent,but given their genetic closeness to us, it's much like caring for a human baby.As for the masks, while facial expressions are in fact important, the masks is to protect the chimp from disease that can be passed onto them-remember,we can have a cold and not even know, they catch it, they can die. Its safety.
Aren't you being a bit snotty also in your reply?
@@laurelbozman6997 : No, she is merely explaining things that should be obvious.
Precioso 😊
The best job in the world
Nice vidio.gute
Why wouldn't you give her a bottle instead of fighting her and her finger. Infant chimps DONT eat pablum or any food given by spoon. Strictly moms milk or bottle fed for the first year or longer. Just a photo op at the distracting the poor little thing with the frikkin flash going off making it more difficult for the caretaker to do her job. She is so young, she doesn't even have any teeth yet.
Why do you not have a bottle for it, you could have the cereal in it?
Спокойная малышка
I din'nt want to eat or to fix my room as wel. If is ok. To compare.
Obsessed by his thumb
Or so it down so you can hold those hands. This girl obviously has never fed a child. She's not moving the spoon right to get it in the mouth
Baby Chimps are very strong.
I would love to take care of baby chimps, but I would have started with the bottle instead of the spoon lol, its not normal for them.
is there any way to correct the aspect ratio?
Every time I think that there can't possibly be anything cuter than a baby orangutan someone posts a baby chimp.
Bruce M Carleton Jr you should check out cheetah cubs, they’re extraordinarily adorable!!!
Lady,you struggled the whole video to feed her that little bit of cereal, why didnt u set her down or prop her up n feed ?
Test test
Reminds me of trying to spoon feed my kids.
I don't think animals should be kept in a zoo. They should be happy and free in the wild
@Tammy Costello: An infant chimp couldn’t possibly survive “in the wild” without a mother to care for it. Just like a human baby.
Get the story straight.This baby would have died by herself. No food or milk. Mom is dead.
@@lornaparsons9299 The mom is not dead, and it's rather obvious the OP was speaking in general terms, not advocating abandoning an infant chimp in the wild.
Is teething.
How beautiful!
Isn’t it considered bad - and a sign of distress/neglect- when a human-reared infant primate sucks its thumb? Maybe it’s different with chimps, i dunno 🤷♀️
Don't Annalise analysis.

I dont think i have seen one suck their thumb
LOL that baby wants a bottle to suck not a spoon. LOL
Porquê não coloca na mamadeira, é muito mais fácil!!!!
why should he learn to eat from a spoon?
That is a good question!! Most people that are raising infant non human primates find it easiest to place cereal and/or baby food in a bottle mixed with milk (formula) once they are ready to begin having some solids. It seems ridiculous to be trying to make this infant eat like this in a way that is so totally unnatural to what he would be doing in the wild especially when there is a much easier way. Now, once he is ready to start having truly solid foods such as fruits and vegetables and such then it would of course be natural to cut them up into pieces he can handle and allow him to learn to pick them up and put them into the mouth and suck and chew on them until he is ready to take bites and eat it...that is what he would be doing if he were being raised by mom in the wild...I just dont get it here either..they do seem a little clueless in some aspects of his care. It is ridiculous for them to still be wearing masks at the age he is at in this video unless someone is sick but of course if they are sick they should not be anywhere around him anyways. The first couple of months when they are still very fragile and before they have a little bit of immunity built up then I agree with the masks and all but once they are past a few months old such as this one then the infant needs to have that ability to see their expressions and all so that they develop socially and emotionally...this is ridiculous..hopefully they handle things a little different and have learned since this video was made.
@Gina Powell: I agree with all you wrote.
Stil looks depressed as it did in first video. Then i would be to looking at those concrete walls all my life.
I’m surprised that they are trying to feed her cereal rather than sticking to what her diet would be in the wild for her age.
It's a special mixture, not just cereal. The real question is why was she using a spoon rather than bottle feeding? The little thing clearly is looking for something to suckle.
Cute as banana bunches as babies,.but oh so dangerous when they grow up!
All animals can be dangerous. Even domesticated animals.
@Gina Pike: This is true.
Ay santisimo!😂😂😂😂
SWEET AND ADORABLE!!!!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Sweetheart 💕
Let her have her thumb! I'm sure you all aren't holding her all time like her mom would be! She obviously needs the comfort!
Couldn't help notice from a lot of your comments that you must have a degree in zoology.
I thought the same thing! These people know what they are doing;)
No just common sense
@Joe Q Jackson: Mothers who have raised human babies have a lot of relevant experience.
She seems really intimidated by the photographers. She tries to suck her thumb, and when that is removed from her mouth she turns away totally. A stressed animal doesn't eat, even if hungry.
Awwww so cute
aw! so cute
are you some kind of expert? comments like this aren't appreciated!
The teat on the mama ape vs a bottle are so very different. I actually saw a woman comment that a monkey didn't have big enough breasts to nurse. Im kinda shocked, still, that someone still equates large boobs with milk production. Hi, let's go over mammals again, lol. But I do think, every time I see a bottle fed primate, [which is probably too often], that they're built to have this particular sized nipple and we haven't really done much to change the shapes for different animals. Yes, size and flow, but not so much *shape*. Maybe some inventor will read this lol and take the idea to patent it.
Good point.
Shes is so cute i dont know why they like sucking on their thumb
That thing ain't cute
Chew your food you animal. Nah ha, im only joking. Sooo cute
😘💗
Que necedad tienen de quitarles a las madres a sus bb ellos saben sin listos pero ustedes nomás con sus experimentos
He's like dang this stuff is good when he is drinking the milk dawww he so cute -^^-
It's a little girl.
Curb her from sucking his thumb
I lost my Mom very young. In some way, I know what
he's going trhu..Yeah. you just feel like that.
@Valerie Armstrong Thank you, sooo much!!!!❤
I love you too!!!😉🙋♀️🇺🇾❤
@Valerie Armstrong Thank you
@Valerie Armstrong Thanks, for your words...Really. They touched my heart.💖soo deeply. I hope the best for you and your family.And sendinng you love, from Uruguay!!!!!🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🙋♀️
@Valerie Armstrong Thank you soo much! ❤
That care giver wouldn't have a clue how to feed a baby , she needs to be taught how
She is soooooo beautiful kiss , kiss little girl my dream job
🍼
That nurse @5.02needs a few lessons on how to feed a baby with food ...ridiculous
One thing I have noticed in many of these videos is the lack of grooming and intimate contact, like kissing. Wonder how this affects the chimp?
Ate ela tomar uma colherada de leite , coitadinha da na mamadeira
it should be on a bottle if it can't be with its mum
What a rewarding job this must be!!!
dear santa
I read feelitworking's comment about how the zoo staff is stupid, etc. Then he/she asks the question - why wear a mask? Well, turns out then, that the zoo staff - and even the baby chimp are smarter than feelitworking. First - the mask. Infant non-human primates are vulnerable to human colds, etc. They are protecting the baby from human illness, and protecting the staff from any illness the baby might have.
They are very qualified experts, and are doing a super job of caring for this infant chimp. Their goal is to get her back with her own species. Rather than sit around typing nonsense, do something productive feelitworking. You're not much better than the idiot that stated he'd like to see the older chimps kill and eat the baby. You two prove that many humans are not nearly as smart as these primates.
You are an idiot pal! Look up Jane Goodall or watch Chimp Eden or any zoo videos and you will see the masks are very detrimental to these infants and the ripping of this infant from it's mothers breast, causing the Mum to lose her milk and never learn how to, causing this poor baby to go a minimum 6 months isolated from the its mother and the whole group who play a critical role in that baby's development! The chimp has the same DNA that humans do so unless the chimps are using IV drugs with people outside the enclosure or having unprotected sex out side the zoo, they couldn't possibly be exposed to any contagion that the staff are not already exposed to by the public already! DUH! They don't die from a common cold anymore than you or I do, idiot! Tell me, why didn't she sit the infant with its right arm around her back and put her arm around the baby's back holding its left arm while scooping the food from the bowl on the table so there are no arms or hands to deal with and why are they feeding this baby whole foods now? Because they don't know how to reintroduce this infant back into the group! That's why! How they going to feed it bottles then huh? They should have thought to separate the mother prior to her giving birth so if there were complications they could dart her and make sure the mother has milk and start the breast feeding while she's under and let her awaken with the infant on her breast allowing the baby to safely eat and get to know where to go for more! Don't tell people who really care that these paid employees know anything or have any real concern for these animals because the masks alone tell the whole story!
Dave Seavy How absolutely right you are.....a human mother that didn't wish to have the baby would have just gone for the most current and popular in "birth-control".....ABORTION!
At least these workers have dedicated their lives to a calling bigger than life itself!
And.....everyone has a first day sometime.
We, here in NC, have one of the best natural habitat zoos in the Country; the animals receive excellent care and are watched over with love and the highest of vet skills. I am proud to live only an hour away from such a fine facility.
Dave DR
Maybe a Bumbo chair could help this busy baby chimp. She looks like she needs another hand to keep the thumb out of monkeys mouth. Lol
Awwwwwww
sweet chimp will it be rejoining t group when its older??
Don't you feel like you want to help this poor lady feed the baby. Hold the bowl for her at least lol
judy devous Yep, I actually said "OMG! Do what human moms do when introducing the cereal-fruit-formula mixture--put it in an InfaFeeder or a bottle with a cereal cut nipple!!
