- You are witnessing the unusual bond between a 3-year-old Sumatran Orangutan (Cerah) and her father, Berani at @DenverZooDZTV .
After Cerah’s mom and Berani’s mate Nias passed away suddenly from fatal heartcomplications, Berani stepped in as the most doting parent.
In the wild, male orangutans are not known to be involved in the raising of offspring at all.
Berani has always been an exception to the typical role of a male orangutan.
Well before Nias' (the mother) death, Berani was known for treating Hesty, Nias' first daughter, like his own offspring.
Hesty is not Berani's biological daughter, but he always treated her as such.
So it's no surprise now that he's stepped in to take care of Cerah.
Since Nias’ December death, Berani continues to be a source of comfort for Cerah.
The whole troop is doing well, and 11-year-old Hesty, who is only a few years away from being able to start having her own children, is doing a good job playing with Cerah throughout the day.
Right away the daughter is looking for milk and he has to say, "sorry, no milk there. they don't work." Great father!
A glitch in the matrix
Pacifier.
So he’s not trans then. Lol.
still stuck in my head until now, for what's the use of men/males have nipple if they can not produce milk
@@donysiswanto8422 every foetus is female until the male hormones kick in, by that time some features like nipples are formed, that's why almost all mammals have nipples irrespective of gender
This is so sweet. He looks like a wise old man. Clearly he is a proud father.
they look like prisoners to me
He’s not so old
@@ayoubzahiri1918 So would you prefer them to be wiped out by greedy palm oil companies?
@@ayoubzahiri1918 they would get sold off by poachers in the wild bro
@@ayoubzahiri1918 orangutans are also loners so in the wild so the baby would have no one to rely on and die without the zoo
When an orangutang dad can do what mine can't...
yeah this ting is rare
Same here
So sorry to here that
@@maliaferry8212 *hear
Awwwww
He’s top top dad god bless him
god ? they are almost extinct due to habitat loss. where is you god ?
@@VINvIN344 Man made them endangered not God
U guys are really....nevermind
@@VINvIN344 you're not very bright are you?
@@VINvIN344 Atheist moment
In indonesian, "cerah" means bright and "berani" means brave. Nias is an island in sumatra.
Thanks for that info.
Sekar Hello 🙂 Thanx 4 your information, about what their names is in Indonesia language 🙂 Have a good summer 🌺
What lovely words. Indonesian must be a poetic language. Thank you for your translations. Very interesting.
@@mbd6054 such a wonderful place that these creatures are almost extinct due to habitat loss and an ongoing human population explosion
@@VINvIN344 You must be responding to the wrong person. I was speaking about language.
Berani is the kind of father all kids deserve to call dad. Props my guy!
This had me wanting to cry . its so sweet that dad stepped in and is being so supportive and teaching. Him to be what he is a beautiful creature . just so beautiful
Really gonna cry huh. I dont think the dad had much of a choice cause that baby was gonna craw all over him soon as it realized the mom wasnt gonna be around anymore.
He could of shufed his baby away, but he never, you can tell he is bonded.
This is more than many human children in the world can expect !
@@sharkattack3524 Wow so very negative vibs in your comment 😔 Try 2 be positive 4 a change!
The baby is a girl.
His eyes are so endearing. I hope anyone reading this has an amazing day.
He truly loves his baby and bonding with her is an emotional reaction as she takes his mind off of losing his mate. And it helps Cerah too. He’s a good father.
It's wonderful when any type of dad steps up in a situation like this.
🦧♥️
Dad’s are necessary in every society❣️
What a wonderful father ♥️
🦧
What a brilliant father he is considering they play no part of rearing them normally. He is so hands on and also his eldest daughter not being his but he has stepped up for her too, extra treats for him then, absolutely wonderful video, thank you ❤️🇬🇧
Better than some humans...
Yes indeed.
@@itstuff4744 Yes! Oh i agree with both of you 🙂 Greetings from Scandinavia 🌺
How so? How about "some humans" not "most". You think that way? Then go live in the jungle with the Orangutans, and while you're at it go snatch a baby orangutan and raise it. It's sad that there cannot be a video of primates doing good without some jackoff comparing humans in a negative way to primates. That shit got old quick!
@@trendmassacre8423 I fixed it for you and I really didn't mean to cause such an upsetting reaction. Sorry. ☮️✌️🕊️🕉️
@@Leyla7292 Thanks, all my best from Canada.
Like my husband, he stepped up as dad to my two sons because their biological father didn’t. Love doesn’t have to be from biological attachment, it comes from the soul. This father is a father, regardless of biology. 💜
Lovely to see
Orangutans are precious, precious, PRECIOUS animals, some of the most giving and empathetic on earth. They are suffering HORRIBLY at the hands of mankind. 🙇♀️
I donate monthly to WWF, trying to do my part. I just wish I could do more!
expect them to be extinct due to habitat loss. unless you can rehouse over 300 indonesian muslims, donations are a waste of money
What’s a better way to help them?
Stop using palm oil containing products. Do your diligence and check that it isn't used in any of the products you buy. There are plenty of soaps, shampoos etc that don't use palm oil. And I haven't been able to find any biscuits/cookies that don't contain it, so I make my own. But I would still urge you to research companies (as I have) to check their credentials. And if you're still not sure then make your own - knowledge is power. There is no better way to cut off a supply than to stop using anything that contains those particular ingredients. And if we no longer use products that contain palm oil etc, then it will no longer be a profitable commodity to those governments who would exploit the planet for the profits they bring. But it has to be a COLLECTIVE effort - meaning enough people discontinuing the use of products that damage the planet to have a profound and lasting effect, otherwise it won't work.
@@wren5291 Very good info.
@@atomicplaygirl66 I'm glad you think so. The power to instigate change for the better was ALWAYS in our hands. But over time that notion has been quashed by tech, media, other distractions etc and which are all ruled over by the so called "higher ups". Although, with some things, it is ultimately OUR choice to use them or not. Polute or not.
I won't contribute to the downfall of another fellow species just because I want to wear make-up and eat a biscuit. It's not scary or hard to change ones ways, on the contrary there's no other feeling like it to know that you're helping your home instead of killing it, and basically giving the worlds overlords the middle finger whilst living a clean life😊
I'm very sure it's happened in the wild...Gorilla dads ate known to be very attentive too.
Orangutan are emotionally advanced...but so are zebra, dogs, elephants and whales...to name just a few...yet it so shocking to me that humans still treat animals like mindless creatures.
This Daddy is my Hero...and his daughter is the luckiest,most precious little girl.❤
@Trace Smith, I agree with what you're saying about human's viewpoint toward animals. In this case, I don't think that's what's going on. Yes, Silverback Gorillas are known to be very attentive to their young.Gorillas live in large groups, with one dad in the wild. Orangutans on the other hand, yes, also very intelligent. In the wild they grow up male and female both, living individually. Coming together to mate and the male leaving the raising of baby orangutan to the mother. Because they live in the trees and spread out so they have enough food for each in the canopy. With all respect to you and the Orangutans, it is very unusual for the male to be taking care of his baby, even moreso, with one not his own.
@@elisemiller13 Cerah IS Berani's biological daughter.
It comes as no surprise to people who are aware of how many active genes we share in common with other animals. Particularly the other great apes. They have empathy for the same reason WE do. We inherited it.
Things is gorilla lives in packs while orangutans are loners and they dont even build couples . So it would be very rare in the wild .
not sure about zebras, stallions murder baby males and have fought and injured eachother. gives them enough skill to fight a hunting lion and bite a crcodile's eye to survive
They are so human.😓 So sad for the loss of her mum.😓
When you consider that we share 97% of our active genes in common with orangutans, and 99% in common with chimps... I prefer to think of it the other way around. It's not that they display "human" traits, but that we get OUR traits from our shared heritage with the other great apes.
What a sweet papa ❤ he probably misses his mate. Berani's keeping their love alive thru his care of Celah.
Awe, such a good Daddy. Animals are amazing and never cease to show us their wonderful talents as parents. A lot of human parents could learn a lot from them.
So so so very true!!! I guess Rhett Butler said it best in "Gone With The Wind". He told Scarlett, even a cat could make a better mother than you.
Not used to seeing a male being so loving to his baby. Awesome
Absolutely one of the sweetest things I've seen in a long time.
OMG look at him! He is magnificent! Like someone's version of an alien visitor on a spaceship! He is beautiful!
It seems as if they are helping each other through their grief. So sweet to watch.
Haven’t got a single memory of being hugged by my ‘dad’, already better father than plenty of human deadbeats. Xox
My heart goes out to you. In my case, it was my dad who took care of me and my mother (as she often told me) just took care of me until my dad got home from work. She told me once that she never cared about me, didn't care what I wanted or needed, she just didn't care. Therapy helps.
Let us all strive to have more self-discipline and austerity than a literal animal
Please don't hold this against men.
Dad's often show. Their love and affection in different ways.
your mom picked him for you
@@MrShaneVicious well, if she hadn't picked him she wouldn't even exist, so...
What gorgeous animals.
single dads are powerful, even in the animal kingdom.
What you mean. We are in the animal kingdom.
@@KanonenBengan well, yes, but we have it much easier
@@steveminecraft4364yes, safer human dads are. But raising a kid for 20 years is definitely not easy.
What an amazing and loving father! There’s a male Vervet who became a father to an orphan baby boy who joined his troop. The baby boy named Rox was found in bad shape two badly broken legs one had to be amputated and his real mom had died all of the surrogate moms in troop he got along with but the male Jethro it was different and the monkeys choose who they bond with but it was amazing to see this male carrying around his new son in his belly all proud like all the other moms with their new orphans it was sweet. Primates and well animals in general amaze me, I don’t understand how some people can just abuse them or blindly kill them for sport without seeing them for who they are, it’s maddening.
Thank you for your video it is amazing and beautiful!
Berani 🥺🥺🥺💗💗💗💗
HES NOT THE BIOLOGICAL DAD IM SOBBING WHAT A GOOD FATHER 😭😭😭😭
Such beautiful creatures. Can’t believe they’ll probably be gone in my lifetime
He is such a kind being.
He's a good soul
I have an enormous amount of respect for all apes I just wish the rest of the world was the same, it's quite infuriating to know Orangutans are endangered and not far from the point of no return while human populations continue to rapidly grow towards 8 billion
@Jody Lien it's an ugly reality I can't stand, the Indonesian government say they are against the habitat destruction the Orangutans are facing but they aren't doing much to stop it because the palm oil industry feeds their economy but by the time they find a solution to boost their economy the rainforest within their country will most likely be gone along with the Orangutans, but most of the leaders around the world aren't competent enough to run their countries
I hate to say it, but especially as Americans, we all contribute to this injustice. We may only learn when there’s nothing left to exploit, and even then...
🎯
All of this.
In Europe there is a strong palm oil boycott. If US did this too maybe it would be enough pressure to protect the Indonesian rainforest.
Left eye tear: check.
Right eye tear: check.
Arrow right through the feels: check
Beautiful! Animals are so much more than we give them credit for 😊
That is awesome. What a great dad he is.
I love this video!!😍😍 Reminded me so much of me and my Dad😍 These kinds of males are called allo-parental and they exist in various different species. These guys have high oxytocin, and often volunteer for the role of stepfather, husband, father, and possibly uncle! Whether biological or not, they are known to love and adore the children😍😍
The little one Cerah still looks sad I think she misses her mom.
How beautiful is this!!! That’s an incredible dad!!
Dad's are important. Glad he stepped up.
That is the absolute best news! He looks like he has been taking very good care of Cerah❣️ They need each other's support right now and it looks like they have it. Sending love and prayers 💜
Amazing! I would love to meet this beautiful creature! Love him
💕
He's such a devoted, loving dad!
That’s a Daddy Angel right there bless him. All fathers should learn from this guy. Good job daddy
This is truly beyond sad. You can see his grief is overwhelming.
Look at dad with his baby daughter, just beautiful.
I miss my daddy so much every day. RIP angel
I could see this also happens in the wild on some occasion, but since wild orangutans are difficult to locate and their habitat is not very easy to access. Research could probably miss out some of these behaviors.
I mean, it took zoologist a long time to actually realize that male tigers do also taking part in caring for cub as well.
Great job stepping it up and taking care❤. Her mum was looking over her too!
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
What a sweetheart he is! 💖🌺
He's really beautiful! And just soooooo sweet to his baby girl ❤
All he loved his mate so much that he took care of his step daughter and his daughter. What a wonderful dad
Me impresiona, es de una belleza que no sabes explicar .me encantan.
God Bless them both. Good PaPa. 🐾🙏🐾
You can see he loves her very much!! Hes very special.
Damn this warms the heart, I needed this
This video is so fascinating. What is his level of understanding and feeling. Pretty incredible.
This is so beautiful, imma cry 🥺
So precious 💖
Such a lovely soul.
Uplifting. Thanks.
I love this story. It does alot for my heart and warms my soul. I love orangutans, this doesn't surprise me
Orangutans are very loving and caring animals. This is awesome
What a chill dad!!
Beautiful video full of generosity and kindness among animals.
Way to go Dad!!!!
He loves his daughter.,..so sweet
It’s just wonderful! 😃😃
🦧
Bruh this monke is literally better father than mine "father"
The animal is not a Monkey it’s a Orangutan
@@lathafalls7675 it's a meme "monke"
@@samirakhalid1480 it’s really not that funny anymore tho
@@linabelinaa true but it's still a meme
@@linabelinaa and I never said it was funny I was just informing the person
Absolutely amazing
Bless you good daddy
So sweet!
Awwww such a good Daddy 😍
I think this just proves she is a daddy's girl. A beautiful daddy and daughter relationship.
Bright and her father, Brave.
The fact that male Orangutans don't help raise their kids at all in the wild but still instinctively being good fathers is such a nice thing
That is so impressive. Please give updates. 🙏🙂
We humans can certainly learn from these magnificent creatures 👍🏿
Oh God bless his kind heart 😊😊😊
Orangutans 🦧 are so intelligent. They have individual thoughts… and not just instinctual urges. Bravo to this particular fellow. A delightful exception to the rule. 💫
Awwww so precious ❤❤❤
I live right next to This zoo. I think I'll go and visit them.
Fun!
awww so sweet!
What a beautiful story!
I just frickin love them!🖤
That is so beautiful!!!🥰🥰🥰
Oh my gosh! This is so cute, I'm so happy that this male is a dotting one. So interesting that n the wild this isn't seen at all.
When humanity leaves earth, i hope its the Orangutan and SnubNoses to become the next Apex.
They have that inborn kindness that only a few humans have.
Elephants!
I love this story so much. He is absolutely stunning! Look at his wonderful face. His heart is even more stunning. : - ) What a great daddy! I don't know if this is the same daddy and baby, but I heard about another orangutan male who took over caring for a baby after her mother died, and of course the baby still needed milk and couldn't get it from the male. So the keepers would feed the baby through a fence and then she could return immediately to her daddy. It worked out perfectly, given the circumstances. This might be the same pair, just different video.
I wonder if it is?? I’d worry sick the Dad wouldn’t allow anyone near baby. Make monkeys would only keep the baby to get food for themselves. This is amazing.
I really wanna go to Berani to tell him "thank you" and "you are doing a great job!". 💚💜💚
This is AMAZING. Full stop. AMAZING.
That concrete cage is atrocious.
Amazing and so beautiful to watch.
Super cute!! I love them.
Heartwarming.
Awwwww that's beautiful
I need to know more about this family. New subscriber
I am blown away 😯 Wow!
Bittersweet
The little one keeps trying to suckle on his throat pouch, it’s so funny. The dads like I’ll take care of u, but don’t start thinking I’m a lady orangutan.
He has nice face . Precious baby
