In a perfect world, we'd get to see animals safely in their own habitat - when they're not endangered. In a better world, people could be a bit more quiet in zoos. It must seem an awful racket to this mama orangutan.
I love to watch these beautiful beings but it's Bitter Sweet. It breaks my heart that they have to be imprisoned and displayed. I wonder if they feel humiliation like we do. I think they do.
So I just had a thought.. in the wild what do mother orangutans do if they can't or their body doesn't produce milk for her new baby? Or if her body stops producing milk for her older then new baby let's say 2 years old? Do they try and find a mom that does produce milk or do they keep on keeping on? Do they dump the baby? What do they do in the wild? I know when not in the wild a human will step in and fix the issue even if its feeding them by hand everyday, but what about the wild. ???
@Kocain You pointed out very very interesting thing. In captivity and in wild sometimes females who is not related to a baby take care when a child was abondoned. But when mother is alive and not able to feed with breast milk, I wonder other mothers kick in to help or not. I did some search about it, but I could not find any information. It will be great when we find some information.
@@polarbearbluesky like I said it was just a thought and I know females can sometimes be found around other females if they r family or friends so I thought maybe in that situation a different mother would observe the issue and help but I've never seen or heard of it happening before and don't know y I thought of that but I am curious about that now. Thank you for your response maybe one day we will figure it out
This is what I know. In the wild, orangutans are solitary animals and don't live in groups like chimps and gorillas. They also don't breed like the other great apes since they can only have a baby every 7 years in the wild (but some zoos are forcing some orangutans to have another too soon which is contrary to their nature) and once they give birth, their infant will stay with them for at least 7 years before becoming independent. Therefore, if ever the baby orangutan cannot be breastfed and can't take solid food (which I believe is quite rare in the wild because of the nature of only having at most 3 children per life cycle), then the baby will probably die. But maybe the mother will try to feed it fruit juice from her mouth (I am guessing) if the baby is not wholly dependent on milk as sustenance. The reason there is little information about this issue is probably because orangutans are not only solitary but they are arboreal so it is harder to study them when they are so high up in the wild. Studying them in captivity is not the same because they become too humanized.
@@polarbearbluesky You Couldn’t have done much research because you would know that orangutans are solitary animals no orangutan mother is letting anyone touch her baby let alone feed it unfortunately that baby would just starve to death in the wild
@@kocain313 The only female orangutans that would be found around each other is mothers and daughters sometimes the adult daughter comes back and visit mom

Poor mom and baby.

she's desperate for some privacy!
send them back to Borneo, so she they can go back to the wild!
Unfortunately their habitat is being destroyed by loggers and cheap palm oil
