Orangutans in Europe 2020

[Gigit]

0:0:1 Bornean Orang-utan born at La Palmyre to parents 'Barito' and 'Katja'. This brings La Palmyre to 2:1:1 Bornean Orang-utan, although they still hold 0:1 hybrid Orangutan mixed with the Borneans.

The baby is female and has been named 'Halia'.

Chester's Borneans Willie x Leia had a daughter on 4 July 2020.

Female Bornean, Surya, has moved from Rostock to Vienna Schonbrunner. She was born on 28 June 2013.
A male Sumatran was born in Budapest on 10 October 2020. Parents are not named on Facebook but the father must be Chuij.

Lia gave birth to Moric in August, so usually Jula should be the mother this time (hopefully - otherwise it would have been a baby with one of his daughters...)

Sumatran orangutan Conny apparently died at Hagenbeck/Hamburg

@Pongo Did she have another name? I can't find her on my list for Hagenbeck.

@Gigit
She came from Wilhelma Stuttgart a few years ago and was born there...

 

[Gigit]

@BjoernN Thankyou!

 

[Pongo]

Yes, she was born in Stuttgart on April 8, 1989 and moved to Hamburg in June 2016. She already died in September. Hamburg doesn't have the best media department.

I take it this is Mawar from Jersey? In their write-up about this birth they talk all about the baby's paternal side and ancestry as it is their own line, but seem to ignore hers!

Yes, Mawar came from Jersey.

And it´s understandable that the zoo media talks about Pagy´s ancestry. Male Káma is still popular among local older zoo supporters. He was hand-reared, paraded in children pram and clothes and as a baby he made many public appearances (also on TV stations) with the former zoo director Prof. Veselovský who himself was a national celebrity (imagine a Czech Mr. Durrell style of popularity). Also, when the Indonesian pavilion was first unveiled, the orang family (Káma, Upita and their sons Filip and Pagy) were the main attraction, they got a lot of media coverage.

Yes, I realised why all the emphasis was on the paternal side from the amount of comments about them. I remember Mawar at Jersey but in Prague she is the 'outsider'.
