First Time New Mom Orangutan Summer and her baby boy Rufus, it is always great to see her holding him close. 1st time mom - Summer gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Sunday 28th April 2024 Huge congratulations to Blackpool Zoo and the team a brand new future playmate for little Jarang! Ape Tracker has captured these first glimpses of the critically endangered Bornean orangutan baby 21 year old, Summer seemed to be coping really well with her new-born baby and first impressions were that she is a wonderful doting mom and the baby was feeding well during the visit. Summer was the last baby born at Blackpool Zoo before the arrival of baby Jarang 21 years later Summer and her baby were sharing the same enclosure as Jingga and Jarang and the 2 moms were cohabiting well together Kawan the father of the 2 baby boys was very interested in his new family and spent a lot of time watching them from the enclosure he is sharing with Summer’s older sister Cherie. Blackpool Zoo’s Orangutan family are part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) The father of the new born baby orangutan 14 year old Kawan moved to Blackpool Zoo in 2022 from Apenheul Zoo in the Netherlands and was an instant hit with the resident female orangutans Cherie Summer and Jingga He came to the zoo as part of the European Endangered Species program after his much loved predecessor Ramon was moved to a new group in Germany where he has just become a new father himself Kawan was specially selected by experts to join the female group at Blackpool Zoo and has settled into his new role as alpha male orangutan very well There are currently 6 Bornean Orangutans in one family group at Blackpool Zoo consisting of adult females Cherie Summer and Jingga , Alpha Male Kawan , baby Jarang and the new male baby orangutan Rufus Thanks for watching, please Like, Comment and Subscribe!
