The way mom ran to him as soon as the gates were opened. My heart melted.
😭❤😭❤
Yes, I melted too.
That photo at :23 is absolutely stunning. That's when my waterworks started.
That would have been awesome if it was a stuffed doll full of angry bees and covered in poison ivy
@@JohnPMitten really? Can I have your tv?
She looks so happy with that baby in her arms so cute
How would you know?
Just amazing. You can see the Mama desperate to get to her before she can even see her. So much love. They’re the most amazing and beautiful creatures. Such love and understanding in their dark eyes.
Precious mum and baby lovely to see x
You are so full of 💩
The baby is a he
Mommy couldn't get to Baby fast enough 🥰 That pic of Baby laying on her is soooo sweet 😍 Save the Orangatans 🙏😇💙🙏😇💙
I can't imagine what she was going through those days they were separated she probably thought she'd never see her little one again
Makes me think of all the poor orangutan mothers who get their baby stolen in the wild animal pet trade, how horrifying it must be though usually the mother is murdered.
They weren't really separated. She could see and touch him whenever she wanted! Here's more info: www.memphiszoo.org/blog/posts/endangered-sumatran-orangutan-born-at-the-memphis-zoo-
@@madisonmorris7810I don’t think that’s completely accurate. The link doesn’t work now but when staff are caring for an infant they have to do so 24/7. They can place them with trusted members of their species for certain brief periods or longer if there’s a gate or window separating baby and human from the other animal(s.) But they wouldn’t be able to allow the orangutan “anytime “ access to the baby because they’d also have access to the human which would be against safety policies. I’m guessing the mom could go near enough to where he was being cared for to see him anytime and maybe stick her hands or fingers through a gate but even that might well be too risky in case the mom accidentally harmed the baby in her desperation to hold him close or something along those lines. I definitely don’t think she could actually hold her baby while under staff care until the day the events captured on video happened. It’s understandable how much more it means to be able to hold someone in your arms versus only being able to stroke a cheek with your finger or something like that.
Omg what a sweet little face!!
She couldn’t get to her baby fast enough! ❤️❤️🥰😘
Mommy saw the most beautiful baby in the world (in her eyes).
Definatley sweetness.
Oh, is so sweet, cute and lovely. The Love to the Baby is great, beautiful.
The baby looks like the Grinch That Stole Christmas
😁 he really does.
I know how funny is that!
Omg so true !!! Super cute though
He definitely does
God, please save the apes! Protect them from the harm we humans inflict on them. Thank you, God.
@Jabari Safari Your comment needs lots of revision. Learn to communicate using arguments based on facts. The fact is humans have decimated the orangutan's habitat to the point of near extinction.
We need corporations to take sustainable palm oil very seriously then. It's not up to god, it's up to us. Read ingredients on your food. Learn the ways 'palm oil' is hidden in ingredient labels. Learn about the industry as well as sustainable palm oil options... divest from companies like Kelloggs, Nestle, Ikea, PepsiCo and makeup companies that are repeat offenders of rainforest deforestation and not upholding their promises on sustainable palm oil. This means leaving behind many of our favourite processed foods or bodycare products. We need to make the choice... they are disappearing at an alarming rate.
@@zolawilliams1 That's what I do. But so many products contain palm oil that I feel it's a lost battle since most people don't pay attention to ingredients to avoid for humanitarian reasons.
God will not listen to you for you are arrogant and conceited
These apes are so lovable it’s almost otherworldly. They are so like us but have superpowers which are so difficult to ignore! Wonderful lovely cousins which are so easy to love!
Humbling & simply Heavenly...
Something so positive in the whole day.
How awesome is this, she is a wonderful mother and when she went for the baby and grabbed her I cried a little. The bond between these mothers and babies are unbelievable.
It's a baby grinch!!! How adorable!
They are both smiling at the end! 💖
What a beautiful sight!! I adore Orangutans and infant orangutans are especially cute!!! Although it would have been even better if they weren't in a concrete home but in the wild!
Just beautiful
He's beautiful!
The speed in which she got to him.💜.then the speed in picking him up 💜.. from her line of sight.. how did she even see him? 💜 Heart melting 💜
I didn’t even see him right away the 1st time I watched!!!
Probably could smell him before seeing him
@@davidmellish3295 yes! That's so heart warming, she could smell her baby before she could see him!
Mom watched as the zoo staff put her baby into the enclosure. Then they opened the door for her.
@@2degucitas Clever girl.🏆
Beautiful, just beautiful.
He's the cutest!
So beautiful!
That last still frame she is so relieved and happy to have her baby. And baby also looks pleased.
Such a sweet reunion. Mama is so proud of her baby. ♥️♥️♥️
This makes me happy
Absolutely love for her baby
That is precious
He looks like a brown grinch. He’s So cute
The baby reminds me of the Grinch lol.
So adorable ,,exspecialy baby!
Awe! So sweet!
the love in the mama's eyes when she goes straight to her baby brought tears too my eyes. .its sad they are in a zoo but its sadder to hav them out in nature and then they end up chopped up, shot and baby sold as a pet.. sad either way.. wish there was a island where they could liv in peace and hav armed guards to protect them...COME ON BILL GATES, u can do it.
Stephanie Washington lmao 😂😫
Why keep armed guards if you can teach them to use firearms
@@pomponi0 good point
Stephanie Washington: Fully agree
Best idea to protect these poor creatures..
cute name choice!! the mother's name jahe in bahasa indonesia means ginger which is appropriate for orangutans hair/fur color 💘
He’s beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
So sweet and beautiful
What a happy momma!
Edit: I've literally just been watching and rewinding and watching again and again!
Oooh. Like humans. They are so wonderful. So loving. Made my eyes water❤️👏❤️🇺🇸🙏❤️❤️❤️
I am melted
Warmth or scent? Everyone (except ODN it seems) knows that putting babies on the head feels nice.
I thought it might've just been because she was a new mom and wanted to try out if the baby liked it on her head?
lol
or maybe her belly was hurting too much to keep him on it. I've had a C-section, I think I can understand
@@NikkieRoxxx sounds the most logic
it didn't last long though. within a week I could put him on my belly/ against my belly when I was sitting. The immense joy of finally being a mom after being married for more than 12 years helped agianst the pain i guess :)
She was so ready
0:58 That mommy-baby oxytocin high 🤗
Handsome little man 😊
Awww now I want a hug 😞....
Adorable!
She ran in so happy for her
That's the cutest damn thing I ever saw.
This brings tears to my eyes.
this is too damn cute I can’t......
Then do us a favor and dont
00:58 Straight up looks like a photo from one of those “new baby photo shoots” human families like to do but with an Orangutan fam
Most amazing animal that was ever put on this earth 😍😍 and of course my favourite. 🥰
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT WITH US ! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU KEEP UP THIS VERY IMPORTANT WORK EVERY SINGLE ONE COUNTS !

He looks like the baby Grinch!
They are so sweet!
Cutie.
Awwwwww soooo sweet
What a beautiful loving mother. They look very different from other orangutans that I've seen, but still quite amazing!!💕💞
terry ford There are two species of orangutan, Bornean and Sumatran. Also, the males have large, fleshy “plates” on their cheeks.
That's a handsome boy.
Bless this beautiful little baby!! They all have individual looks, quite remarkable. His mommy is so proud, Awww!!!
She immediately went to her baby so special❣️❣️❣️
Awwww Simply Beautiful 💙
Cute and touching moment
Now I'm curious how long is there gestation period for? So glad there both happy now.
So how did the mothers milk come in if the baby couldn't go back to mom for 12days? Wouldn't it have dried up by that time? Such an adorable little grinch!!!!!!
Beautiful
Es demasiado lindo el bebé.
Awe so sweet

Okay it's been four years, so what is the cute little bugger's name?
Rowan!
@@madisonmorris7810 thank you! 💜
These two omgness 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Sweet and baby is cute
Why do they wait 12 days after the c-section to reunite them?!
But then again, that was the norm for humans also, not so long ago...
I truly believe Orangutans are better mothers...
Briditte Bargeot ...I was thinking the same thing, in a few cases that I can think of. But I'm pretty sure they keep them separated so long, waiting for the mom to recover. They may even keep mom sedated for quite awhile so she doesn't pick at the stitches ...or actually, she might start frantically looking for the baby. ( I'll have to look that up..lol )...but Orangutans understand pregnancy more than any animal that I've heard of.
Exactly, as intelligent as these animals may be it's still risky to put them through serious surgery since you can't communicate with them how to respond to everything. It's a much longer recovery process for animals than it is humans.
bestieswithtesties ....after I watched this, I was skipping around., looking at different videos....They are amazing. ... in captivity or even out in the wild without human influence ...they are so sweat to each other and so smart
Sounds like mother or maybe babt had complications and she was not able to care for the baby.

she wasted no time getting to her baby once the gate opened
Awe❤😊
awwww
Still my favorite Animal
Looks like a character from a Dr Seuss book.
There's a really strong possibility that she could have rejected it, just because she didn't give birth to it and didn't have those first few crucial hours cleaning, nursing and bonding. She could have very easily looked at it with indiference and never even known it was hers.
I forget where, but it was at one of those sanctuaries, a mother and very small child had been separated for just a few days because one of them was sick and the mother was unable to care for it. After just a few days, when they returned the baby to her, she flat out rejected it, wouldn't allow it to nurse, then she dried up. They were kind of new to the sanctuary and were in the intake quarantine cages, and when they went in the last time to take the baby out because it was obvious that the mother had no interest in taking care if it, she was completely indifferent about it. It wasn't a newborn, but definitely an infant that she gave birth to in the wild, and was taking care of it the best she could before they were brought in. They already had that bonding phase however many weeks or months it was beforehand and she wanted nothing to do with it. She didn't even pick it up or anything. Glad this one worked out, because it could have easily gone the other way.
Maybe this orangutan mother had had a baby before and was more experienced. That other mother could be young and unsure about her role. Or maybe it's just different personalities or intelligence. This mother sounds very smart, thst she still could have a connection even after a c section and after not having met her baby.
