North American Orangutan Population

More saddening news... :(

0.1 Kera Wak gave birth to a baby between March 15 and March 20, 2020, at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Unfortunately, the baby was believed to have been born stillborn, even though the pregnancy was viable up until the birth. The sire of the baby was 1.0 Tiram (Cleveland Metroparks Zoo). The gender of the baby and the exact date of birth were not announced in the press release.

That is very unfortunate to hear.
 
0:1 hybrid Orangutan born at the Center for Great Apes in February and has been named 'Cahaya'. The father is named 'Archie' and the mother is called 'Sunshine'. Both parent animals are also hybrid Orangutans.

I'm assuming it's an accidental birth?
 
Toledo Zoo has announced the birth of 1:0 Bornean Orang-utan to 'Bajik' and 'Leela' in October 2019. It has been named 'Fajar' and was hand-reared for the first 6 months due to an infected in the umbilicus, but has since been reintroduced to his mother 'Leela'.
