The moment we have been waiting for! Jazz, the orangutan at Dudley Zoo, cares for both her baby Jim and daughter Sprout's newborn, Joe, with Djimat as the proud father. A heartwarming family tale unfolds. A Young Sprout having a beauty day: • Orangutan Youngsters B...
Orangutan mother and grandmother Jazz is looking after her newborn baby and the newborn baby of her daughter. Sprout was too inexperienced to look after her son and when she gave birth she walked away. Her mother Jazz picked the baby up straight away and never let it go since.
Jazz is sitting up the top. Her mum Jazz with the two babies below her. Sprout followed them around in the past, but always at quite a distance.
Jazz sits on a log with baby Jim and Joe while she tries to squeeze a spot. At that point son, Jim is on her left and Joe on the right.
To my delight suddenly Sprout appeared. She's taking Jim's arm first, holding it, sniffing it. Then she moves over to the other site. Sits next to her mum. Jim is trying to grab Joe's face. Jim slightly touches Sprout's hand and then Sprout starts playing with her son's hair. While she is doing that she has a look at Jazz, she looks at her daughter watches her and plays with the food on her lip. She looks quite content for Sprout to do what she does. Sprout holds her hand out and an inquisitive Jim tries to grab her hand. When Sprout pulls his hand, he pulls away. Sprout still has her hand out and then pulls her son's arm up ( She didn't yank the arm as hard as it looks in the video, I just edited a bit out as it was me that jolted the camera, I just got too excited about the magic moment lol) Jazz is watching, but is quite happy for Sprout to check out her son. Sprout puts her son's arm in her mouth and slightly bites on it. Joe pulls away his hand. Sprout still holding onto his arm. After that Jazz moved around.
Later in the afternoon. Sprout approached the three again. Sat close to her mum and the babies. Her son was holding his arm out and then Jim was doing the same. So she held Jim's hand first and I think Jazz was pulling Jim away a little. That's when she let go and then started to hold her son Joe's hand. Joe grabbed one of their fingers and then Sproud was holding his hand. She let go. Sprout watches her mum clean Jim's bits. Jazz is holding Jim's foot and Joe is nibbling on Jim's foot. Sprout gets up and has a proper look and then sits down again. Joe is fully awake looking at his mum. Sprout starts playing with her son's hand again. Jazz pulls both babies closer. Sprout grabs Jim's leg to have a look. As Jazz seemed to finish cleaning Jim her son, she now starts to clean Joe's bits. When she's done she moves around and goes back inside. What a magic day! I can't wait to go again to see how it all develops between the four. What do you think, does Sprout know who her son is?
Orangutan Mother Jazz (30) from the Dudley zoo became super mum as she's not just looking after her own baby boy Jim, now she's looking after her daughter's newborn baby Joe as well, as her daughter found first-time motherhood a little bit challenging. When her daughter Sprout gave birth she walked away and left the baby on the floor. Mother Jazz picked the baby up straight away and she hasn't let go of the babies since. Nursing both and giving both love, care and attention. Staff is closely monitoring both babies and both mums.
Flanged Orangutan male Djimat is the dad of both babies.
