When I watch videos of an orangutan mother with her new baby I'm always amazed by the love and gentleness they show. It always puts a smile on my face and a tug on my heart.

I love these beautiful ,gentle people so much. They're incredible and they certainly don't deserve how they have been treated in the wild. Please read labels and refuse to buy anything containing palm oil. Please! It's a small sacrifice for us but means life or death to orangutans.

I love when she kisses her baby. She is a loving mother. ❤❤

Orangutan mamas always show alot of live to their babies. It's so precious

Adorable 🥰 Momma is so good with her new baby❤️. Congratulations to all !

The babies hair do is freaking adorable! I’m in ❤️

Mom was doing the bouncy bounce a little rough-good thing the heads attached to this little thing!! That baby was like a bauble head!!

Such a good baby! Mother knows how to keep baby content🧡

She is definitely a proud Mama. What a moment! 😊

What a great Momma she is.

Congratulations Mum on a beautiful little one.🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵❤️

You are saying that the baby is clinging just fine, but there’s something wrong with his right hand, and if it’s broken it needs treatment now before it heals improperly. She is handling it roughly, in an abusive manner and not allowing the baby to drink. If it’s a birth defect, you need to check out what chemicals are in the enclosure that mom is being exposed to, or in the food, etc.

She’s a kind, gentle mama, with a beautiful baby

She can’t take her eyes off of her beloved baby❤️❤️

Here is an example of why i dont understand zoos in other countries where they have rocks but not cushions

Awww Beautiful Bonding !!!!

It’s cracking me up the way she’s playing with him and jostling him about and kissing him too. She loves him so very much, it’s plain to see. I normally hate seeing animals in zoos but if this keeps orangutans from being extinct then it just has to be done. I wish they’d be given huge, protected enclosures though so it’s more like nature.

Around 3:25 it starts to show more of the little ones hand. It looks like it has a deformity in the little fingers.

My absolute favorite animal..they're beautiful & chill af, along with a unique personality.. & in my opinion they are the brightest of the great apes..👏🦧

Just beautiful a new life happy and healthy good job mom

Absolutely amazing! ❤️

It's because of us they are suffering without their natural homes. We "take" from them, then, we "give" to them at their zoo home. I cannot imagine the losses this species has suffered. Why, does it get this far when it doesn't have to be? It's exemplified all over the world, this thoughtless greed that causes so much suffering and damage. These are beautiful, intelligent, gentle feeling beings that have rights too.

Something wrong with a finger on the right hand. Also what is wrong with mom's feet?

This is the most beautiful thing in the world to me, besides human births. i love to just watch these beautiful, lovely animals. they make me smile an happy. please help to keep them safe an in there own habitat.

Bro looks like the fingers broke on the baby's hand

I’m sorry….With much respect & humility….but something didn’t feel “right” about how the baby’s right hand looked & some of the ways that the Mother was handling it. Maybe just comparing it to other videos I’ve seen…Poor thing, sitting on a fake rock with Mom bouncing it’s head back & forth. I naturally trust the caregivers, they certainly know much more than I do….but something was “off” & unnatural - especially with the wee one’s right hand. Please forgive me…..Blessings to you all!!

Rocking and bouncing the baby is positively lovely!

I love how she holds it's head to protect it from it's head hitting the floor as she rocks It. I think only great apes do this rocking like human's do. Then there's all the hugs and kisses! She was even nice enough to let the other female look at and touch it! What a wonderful mommy!!!! She makes every gentle movement like a beautiful expression of love. This is why we have to do more to stop these monsterous poachers from the mommas for bushmeat and those precious babies for the pet trade. Look how their bond and closeness is and then have these wicked and evil people come and rip the two of them apart, especially while the baby is screaming, biting and doing all it can to get away!!! How can people's hearts be so hardened, so cold and evil? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! THESE PEOPLE MUST BE STOPPED! LIKE NOW!!! I'm giving all I can to help the orangutans and all the great apes too? Even if it's $1.00 a day? It doesn't sound like much but yours plus someone else's really does help. SO SORRY!😂 I sound like one of their advertisers asking for money LMBO I just love them and hate to see and know this is happening as I'm typing and you're reading this. So very, very heartbreaking to tears!😢

Absolutely Precious,I love watching these guys and makes me happy to see some new babies 🦧💙

Gosh I love these animals! Just out of curiosity was the baby in this video born with a birth defect on the right hand I think...? Not quite sure about which hand but it looked as though two fingers were fused together. I would imagine this could be a problem considering how much they climb.

So tender with her baby ,wonderful 😊 💕

Bonsoir rien que des instants de grand bonheur et tendresse on sens l'amour de sa mère pour son enfant elle s'occupe très bien de sont bébé mieux que les humains parfois merci de nous faire partager ses instants magiques

Treat animals with respect.

Could Barcelona zoo get some grass, straw and trees please? The environment looks sterile as if they are museum exhibits 😳

Такая громадина😆, но как любит своего ребенка, целует ,качает, ... мамочка! Не то что макашихи, за хвост и об камень

Both are exquisite.

God bless them both 👍🙏❤️

Id like to know which United States company bought the land in Borneo - putting these orangutans to almost extinction. They need to be held accountable.

SO many animal mothers are far better with their babies than a lot of human mothers.

This mother is totally immersed in loving her infant, and it is beautiful to see. I wish the zoo would remember that orangutans are an arboreal species, and should be in the trees, not spending all their time on the ground. The baby needs to learn how to live in the treetops if the zoo is serious about conservation.

To think these beautiful animals who are so much like us are at the point of extinction is absolutely sickening!! I've seen the destruction of their habits and it's horrendous! They don't even leave one tree! They clear cut everything! I've seen them knocking orangutans out of like one tree that is left standing! This is on the government off that country! They should be ashamed of themselves!!!

Beautiful mom and baby

He is the cuteness personified! I love orangutan so much! Our beloved Martina passed awat two months ago 😭

I never tire of watching these lovely creatures.

Orang & chimp infants are almost painfully cute, and for good reason. They're just as helpless as human babies, except for their vice grips hands & feet, which they need in order to clamp on to their moms, who can't hold them as they navigate through the tree topps.

Awww that baby is just too cute! I wish I can hold her

Is there something wrong with the baby's fingers on one hand? It dosnt look right?

Even with no sound you can tell when the baby felt the floor it screamed and she picked the baby up lol

J'adore voir comment les maman Orang outan s'occupent de leur bébé ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh ma heck theyre so cute

At 4:27 the other orangutan is holding and looking at the baby’s deformed fingers.

Adorable baby, another one of my fav was born

Love these orage people!

whats up with her fingers,,,?

i adore orangutans so much. im majoring in animal health and behavior and as time goes by more and more i find myself wanting to work at a sanctuary of some sort where i can train and care for them.

Mamma kisses baby! :)

So the next time you reach for that Ritz cracker think about the Orangutans that had it's home destroyed for that Palm Tree

Three "girl" orangutans -- so important as they grow up to birth and nurture more orangs of both sexes, yet most importantly females, in the future.

What is wrong with this sweet little one’s finger? It looks swollen.🤔 Hopefully it’s just temporary, what a precious little girl. Momma seems to think so too.🥰☺️

Haven’t seen mom feed baby yet!

Please show the scenery of birth.

Congratulations mama love all around with Gods help😇🥰

Love

is there an unusual finger on her right hand? or are all babies born with fingers like that?

How sweet it is

pareciera que ese animalito tiene sindactilia en su mano derecha...en la izquierda también se ve un pliegue extraño en su dedo índice.

No sound

Hermosos los amo 🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧

Congratulations!

So sad that they are forced to live in a fucking zoo.

Precious little one. Is there something wrong with the babies fingers ?

Adorables

I see no green on the video just rocks why???

The mother's feet appear gnarled. Or is that just how they walk sometimes and her feet are fine?

Que tiernos

What is wrong with the babies fingers?

Looks like he has a deformed finger on his right hand

Dang you see the big feet on that little baby

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Terrible to see them in such unnatural environment for this arboreal species.

Je dirais plutôt que c'est déplorable de les enfermer ainsi alors qu'ils sont sauvages et libres dans la nature ! Honte à Homo erectus ! Qui est si prétentieux et qui détruit tout autour de lui et d'ailleurs va s'auto exterminer puisqu'il est non seulement inutile mais aussi nocif à lui-même !

Zoo's are disgusting.

Rock-a-bye-baby. 🎶🎶🎶😇🦧
