Vulnerable Orangutan Baby Ignored By Mother (Part One) | The Secret Life of the Zoo | Nature Bites

- When a new orangutan baby is born at the zoo, keepers become concerned that the new mother is ignoring her younger child.
Bornean orangutans are a relative of the Sumatran orangutan, although they have broader faces and are slightly darker in colour. There are three different subspecies of the Bornean orangutan that are attached to different parts of Borneo:
Northwest Bornean orangutans are the most threatened subspecies. Their habitat have been affected by logging and hunting; only 1,500 Northwest Bornean orangutans remain. Many of their habitat spaces have become small and fragmented over time.
Northeast Bornean orangutans are smallest in size; they're found in Sabah and eastern Kalimantan.
Central Bornean orangutans have at least 35,000 of their kind in the wild, making them the least endangered subspecies of the Bornean orangutans.
From The Secret Life of the Zoo: This series gives viewers behind the scenes access to Chester Zoo's 21,000 animals and the people who work there. The zoo's keepers are interviewed in each episode about the various animals and incidents, whether it's orangutans escaping their enclosure or tigers getting into scraps.

Hello Nature Bites! Love,💞 Love, 💖LOVE 🥰your channel! Well Done! 👍 Do tell...what is that adorable crunchin-munchin critter with the caramel-coloured eyes at the 1:51 mark? 🐾🐾
Dead, right?
He's just a little guy. Aww! Great videos on Tripper!
I’m not inherently anti-zoo and obviously I’m all for conservation of these amazing apes, but I don’t really understand what this program is trying to accomplish. They have Sumatran Orangutans living in unnatural social situations, and apparently spending lots of time on the ground. This behavior they’re learning in captivity will doom them to a life of captivity. Sumatran Orangs are even more arboreal than their Bornean cousins, because they have to worry about tigers in addition to snakes. No orangutan that feels safe playing on the ground will survive in the wild.
On top of that, babies don’t learn all they need to in four years. Trippa deserves all his mother’s attention until he becomes an independent adolescent. He wouldn’t have a baby sister in the wild to share his mother with. Of course he’s struggling to adjust in such an unnatural environment! As undeveloped as he is, he should still be suckling. It’s very distressing watching his mother refuse to even let him near. He should have had an advantage over the orangutans in forest school programs, but now he has no hope of a wild future and no mother.
Why didn’t she have a hormonal implant? It’s well known that pregnancies happen closer together in captivity if no precautions are taken. Breeding captive orangutans and making no effort to teach wild behaviors does very little if anything to save a species on the brink of extinction. Any orangutan physically capable of a free life should be in a rehabilitation program, not playing on the ground with other babies behind glass. There just aren’t enough left to spare.
I feel like I wrote this statement. It couldn't be more accurate. They usually get up to 8 years with mom but at least 5 is the bare bare minimum with milk too... this is absolute insanity. Its greed...
It’s also how you make more orangutans.
I figured if they were born in a zoo they would live their life out in captivity didn't know they released orangutans back into the wild.But I also know very little about how zoo's operate.

If it bothers you look into it
Little man is quite possibly the cutest little guy I've ever seen 😏
You need to get out more
@@Frank-jk4xf says the guy replying to RUclips comments 🤷lol
He will get over it. Not the first time a mom dropped the ball.
@@charlesebersole3572 he’s dead.
Why did you use that emoji? You must really like that orangutan
Omg!! He's so sweet! Look at that little face! 😍😍 I love him!
me too . . . poor thing !!
Would it not have been better to wait another year or two for emma to get pregnant again if you knew Tripa was in need for some extra care for a while longer? o.O
Yes. I think this is the zoo where another mother had one like 2 years after her baby. It definitely messes with them. I think they have them up to 8 years apart in the wild. Ah yeah, I spoke too soon. The 5 year old Tuli (I think) is the one who also had a baby sibling too soon. It's hard to watch
Exactly
This was careless. That mother shouldn’t have had second offspring yet. I’m disappointed in Chester for this one.
@@valerie362 Yes, Emma's sister has now given birth to a second one since she lost the one that Emma was tending to.Her youngest daughter isn't much older than Tripa.They shouldn't be allowed to let that happen.
@@judiththompson2423 That's so sad to hear. I understand that the zoo thinks they're helping by allowing as many births as possible, since they're endangered. I'm not a primate expert by any means. I do think that just by watching Jungle School and following that rescue, we've learned how important mother/baby bond is. They've done a wonderful job teaching about orangutans and that they stay with their mom's until around 6-8 years old.
Tripper is such a cute Lil guy. Tripper being abandoned by his Mummy, is a traumatic, stressful time in his life. I sincerely hope he continues to do well with the other monkeys.
Why is he missing so much fur ?? Thsts usually a sign of extreme stress , is his health ok?
I doubt it.
That's just normally a sign of a small skin problem. It. goes away on its own. They love to soen time in the water. Because they're skin is so dry. It just may not be humid enough. They mentioned it's cold so I assume the humidity is low. That being said with him not having enough meat on his bones and hair he's got cold quickly. I hope things work out. This is one of my favorite apes to watch.
@@PallidTrash same. They are amazing. I hope whoever has these ,take the very best care of them. They're precious
Also a sign of hypothyroidism
Sad though it is was it not just a case of what would happen in the wild when there is a weak member of the group that they fall by the way side. This could possibly explain his mother breeding again so soon and then ignoring the runt who won't make it. It seems horrible to us but this is just nature.
Yes ! That is nature at it's best! 💕 ( or worst )
Not how it works with orangutans i believe… All resources go to one offspring regardless… Pregnancy again so soon is damaging to the mother…
@@alexmartin3143orangutans stay w their moms for 7+ years. the mom wouldn’t b having babies so soon if they were in the wild bc she would b focused on taking care of one baby. kinda like humans do
What’s wrong with the zookeepers why are they letting them breed so often. In the wild they only have a child around every five years.
Thanks for repeating what we just heard
@@Frank-jk4xfBut they didn’t justify why the mother was allowed to become pregnant with a toddler because she wouldn’t do that in the wild.
Ever heard of the word extinction
@@Frank-jk4xf thanks for being a smart arse
@@johnbernardo1091 ever heard of the stupidity of people causing extinction.
Many blessings little Tripa♥️ I hope you grow strong and courageous with a happy heart!
dead
I cannot understand how these "zoo keepers" can perform in front of a camera and talk innocently about a problem they caused. Even as actors they would be considered garbage. They have watched this animal suffer for four years and they talk about the situation as if it were an unpredictable emergency. They use all the buzz words they just learned in school and are being allowed to play with the lives of animals that require experience of people three times their age. I feel sorry for ALL of the animals in their care but hopefully by the grace of God the animals will die peacefully and not be subjected to the torture caused by the incompetence and arrogance of these childish "zoo keepers." This is just downright disgusting and inexcusable!!
Take it down a notch, Meryl Streep 😑
I can not begin to understand how could they allowed the mum to get pregnant so soon? No female would have another baby in the wild before raising properly the first one.
I keep thinking along the same lines as you Kendra. The Empire mentality is not easy to shake off….
@Sienna Dark well since you asked my dear yes I am a primatologist although I see no reason why one couldn’t become well informed by researching material available on Google or RUclips? I’m also a human psychologist and soon I’m planning to change my career again.
Why did you asked? Are you a colleague primatologist too?
😪🤧
How is it their fault? Did Nick have sex with the monkeys?
Why is everyone at this zoo so attractive? Is it like a celebrity volunteer zoo or something? 🤣
This is so sad . . . poor lil Tripa !!😪
Why the fk would you let the mother get pregnant so soon!?!?
She should be with her little one for up to 8 years of need be.
This is why I hate zoos like this. They just want babied to generate income to line their pockets!
It’s pathetic while the animals suffer!!!
You should do something about it
Oh see him shiver like that just breaks my heart!!! Poor little thing!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Thanks to your lack help and stupid emojis , he died.
RIP, Tripa
@@jac1192 rot in parts
I enjoyed it. I hope it makes him sick
Seeing that little guy shivering and not under the cloth with mom!! That is just awful!! 😢😢😢😢😢
Tuti went thru the same thing when her mom unexpectedly had a new baby and she was 3 I think. It’s fantastic that zoos have worked together to increase the numbers. But I’m not sure that anyone considered that mom would have babies every 3 to 4 years instead of the normal 8 to 10 years. And their other babies would not be taken care of by mom. Looks like humans are breeding orphans now~~not a judgment just an sad observation. 😢😢😢😢😢
You should do something about it
Nature and with all types of people and drama and different chapter and character and family and more events and other stuff so interesting and fascinating stories and facts 😜 so beautiful 🤩 and other stuff and scary stuff and so learn for more information 😮😮
Babies are cash cows for Zoos. Babies up visiting head count, sales of merchandise, sponsorship. The offspring can be sold or traded to other Zoos too.
He looks genuinely depressed.
How do you know? Because you saw a RUclips video?
When they saw that he was very underdeveloped and inactive they should have given him a thorough examination.
What did Emma do with Subis baby.
Awww he is such a special little baby !! Bless him 💕 just as we can love the differences in humans this little guy would hold a soft spot in his carers hearts ❤ No doubt when he gets older he will be one of the finest warriors after overcoming so much emotional stress!! Either that or he will be a crazy misfit ❤💕🤔🤣🤣either way he is the cutest little ape I have ever seen !! I've fallen in love within 2 minutes lol oh I just spotted Siska !!! How adorable ......oh I cant choose ...every baby orangatan is just beautiful, cuteness overload 🤣💕
In the wild there children stay with mom mostly till 5to 8, learning how to survive.
Yeah we’ve heard
Not everyone can hear. You should use CC, Subtiltes
Wow look how big tuti and siska got! 🥰🥰🥰
It'll be ok for little trips. Just 2 years ago tuti was in the exact same spot at just 2 years and 10 mos! God bless shy little tripa😍😍😍
Still beautiful bless then ❤
Why didn't you show the rest of the story where Emma cared for her sister 's baby?
There's a part 2. I found that video 1st but went looking for this one to get the whole story.
Here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/UGD5R9VCaFE/видео.html
Why don’t you post your own videos and stop complaining?
Sadly, Tripa died.
Her pregnancy should have been prevented. It's not normal for a female to th ave a baby so soon. They only have a baby every 8 yrs. Trip a still needed his mom.
I think I may have now seen 98% of all great ape videos on RUclips. 😏
🤣 me too !!! Addictive, I actually find it theriputic to watch .... I am in the process of making inquiries about volunteering 😊😊
Hope Tripa Comes Good Soon And Grows Up To Be A Happy Healthy Orangutan!🦧🌴🌿🇮🇩
🥰🥰🥰🤗 TRIPA PRECIOSA 😘😘😘
Well that was a stupid decision.
Rest in Peace Tripa! U deserved all the love and much more dear.
What happened?
Did I miss something? This shows Tripa successfully being treated for a thyroid problem. Where did you see that he died?
How
It said he was dying and he was put to sleep
@@miyamcallister He was given anesthetic to find the problem...there is a part 2 to this video. From what I've seen...he is not dead.😉😊
They are wild animals humans gotta stop interfering with their lives humans dont like when they are interfered with if it dies thats just nature if we looked out or the homeless like they do wild animals we could solve our homeless problems and hunger
I would like to see an orangutan do something useful if they’re so smart
Your parents should've followed that advice.
Nothing beats an idiot on youtube talking about not interfering with nature.
Be brave darling Tripa! You got this!! 💪🏽
Got what? A trip to the glue factory? He already died. Thanks for your concern
@@elcabo4557😂
These 2 girls looking at him on the monitor havn't got a clue about orangutans. They've brrn raised on machine's
It could be that Tripa is special and needs extra care.
Why doesn't the zoo put him with a surrogate parent. He needs nurturing
the little baby is probably traumatized somehow, living in cages and having everything done for you is not a happy existence especially for a forest dwelling species
this is the only life they know so I wouldn't think that's the problem as the rest seem well adjusted.if anything it would bother the older one's more.sadly he seems kinda of dimwitted.like people I'm sure they are not all created equally in intelligence.
Hypothyroidism makes people depressed, and lose hair. His Thyroid levels should be checked.
Sadly, they put Tripa to sleep in 2018.
I think you meant, glady
@@elcabo4557 How?
Breaks my heart to see little guy in distress. ❤️🦧
Thanks to your laziness he died
Rest in power, king
This zoo euthanized Trippa. They never tried to place him with a surrogate mother
I love orangutans but it’s hard to feel sympathy for an animal so huge even at weeks old this isn’t a baby it’s a juvenile jealous of a brand new baby tale as old as time
Time to butch up Tripa. Can't live in mommy's basement forever.
Biggest tragedy in ourango-news
Awww so pitiful
Come back tomorrow for part two!
as it is with our species so it is with theirs…
What ever don't kill us makes us stronger?? Dunno! G-G 🤔🤨☹🥺👀
Mama getting tored of him
Completely irresponsible breeding management.
I am so obsessed with orangutans and wish I could work at onr of these places. I honestly like them much more than humans and so frustrated there is an ocean in my way
TRIPPERS MOTHER SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANOTHER BABY! ORANUTANS STAY WITH MOM'S UNTIL ALMOST EIGHT YEARS OLD. WHY IS MOM HAVING ANOTHER BABY ALREADY?? THIS IS NOT NATURAL.
simples ela teve outro coisa feia porque esssas coisas adoram foder
A little on the dumb side.
It's terrible the way this zoo lets the female orangs breed and have so many babies in such a short amount of time. In the wild, baby irangs spend at least 7 years with mom. Here they are having babies every two years! It is not natural and normal and it should be stopped!
Do a better job if you all take the animals for money. Zoos are not good. You all give him some attention.
He died in 2018
I feel so sorry for Tripa! Why was Emma bred so soon? Oh well…..it’s a little late now!😉
Could he be slow..?
Watching these animals and monkey videos more and more there just like us in society 🤯
Orangutans, Chimpanzees, Bonobos, and Gorillas are not monkeys. They're great apes. Monkeys have tails. Great Apes do not.
Humans are neither apes nor monkeys, they are jungle animal. So relating them with humans you are insulting human race. Monkey society is as raw as you can think of. We humans seem to rolling down to that side however.
Your both missing the point
@@tobyarcand2522 I agree. Being that monkeys, apes, and humans share various common ancestors through evolution, the similarities are interesting. I watched a male adult monkey catch fruit each time spot on each time. When a child learns to catch a ball it is a process. I wonder how the monkey learned to catch so well. Probably from humans but still I thought it was interesting. The way these two moms watched and learned from each other reminded me of the saying monkey see monkey do.
Apes are just, monkeys are fucking terrible.
Poor little guy. It looks like his legs are malformed or is it his feet?
What does it matter? Are you planning on helping or just commenting to make strangers think you care?
Emma is amazing, she is just beautiful, her baby is just sooo cute!!! At least they can stay with mom and don't have to be afraid that mom gets killed off! Horrible what happens in Borneo and Sumatra, for palm oil and the pet trade there!!! So sad! Since I was a little kid I spent 90 %of my time in a Zoo with Orangutans, just love them! They are the Pacifists of the great Apes! With their lovely red hair and their peaceful Attitude 🦧❤️❤️❤️🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧
Better if de do NT sée thé speaker s face, it IS inconfortable to look ar thé apes some seconds and being stopped for seing a human face ...
Seems a bit... slow for an orangatan his age. Probably would have already died in the wild - not a viable specimen, but thats nature - as cruel as it is wonderous.
Caged animals! So unfortunate!!
Do something about it!
Well do something you all .
He needs physical therapy. Poor guy.
Espero que Tripa pueda desarrollar su habilidad para socializar con los compañeros de su edad 😔😔😔
Tripa fue a la fábrica de pegamento en el cielo
Why if he so small for 4
Good thing you guys were there to interfere because this never occurs in the wild.
It would not have happened in the wild because mothers don't mate so soon.
Failure To Thrive. Very Sad.
Survival of the fittest is a beautiful way of keeping nature in tact. If it wasn’t for the welfare system, you would be a freak in the traveling circus
So the tard tang dies. Mother nature takes over. Runt dies. Tough shit.
Survival if the fittest
Take better care zoo people feed animals if mother can’t . He needs attention. You all letting animals suffer.
What are you doing to help? Aside from complaining to strangers on the internet.
Mother letting it suffer
This is legal breeding lol what's the difference with this and a person owning one. Someone explain 😳 leave them in the wild don't intervene at all which will never happen ok then don't have rules why people can't own their own orang because this is the exact same just allowed
Why does Emma look like Nick
I thought orangutan mothers never abandon their young? I guess so
They usually go much longer before having another child. This is a consequence of interfering with the natural processes.
@@spankieschmidt3834 8 years! 4 years is way too soon.
Dude, there are so many deadbeat Orangutan moms caught on RUclips. Imagine how many more there are out there... 98% human, the good and the bad...
It does happen in the wild but it's much more common for captive moms to reject their babies. RUclips has many many examples of captive baby orangutans and other apes that had to be raised by humans.
@@stephenbrand5661 that’s why it’s important to euthanize as quick as possible to avoid wasting more time and money
It’s crazy that an orangutan can actually be even more useless! All it does is crap and eat why are they spending all this time and money on this little rat? The mother doesn’t even want this burden
youre so dumb
