Description
The Sacramento Zoo said a critically endangered Sumatran orangutan gave birth to a healthy male at the zoo on May 1, the first orangutan birth at the zoo since 1981.
Indah, the zoo’s 19-year-old Sumatran orangutan, gave birth to the infant on the evening of May 1. While the infant is healthy, the zoo intervened when Indah was having trouble nursing.
“The baby is currently receiving around-the-clock care by animal care and veterinary staff while the team is continuously reevaluating plans to reunite the infant with Indah,” the zoo wrote on Facebook. “The timeframe for reintroduction is unknown at this time, but that remains the ultimate goal.”
