There was a baby born at Audubon in July, do you happen to know the sex and name of it?

The infant born at the Audubon Zoo in July is 0.1 Bulan, who was actually born on July 17, 2019, to 0.1 Feliz and 1.0 Jambi.

I believe the confusion arose when the announcement of Bulan's birth was republicized in September 2020, and subsequently posted to the Audubon Zoo News thread here on the forum.

My daughter and I visited the Philadelphia Zoo this week and were surprised to find that Batu is no longer here. The Zoo personnel said she had been transferred but didn't know where. Anyone know where she's currently located?

Even though I can't divulge exactly where Batu is currently residing until the receiving facility announces her acquisition, I can say that she was transferred to a zoo on the west coast to be paired with a male around the same age as her.

Thanks for this, I appreciate it. Batu was born just months before my daughter, so they have sort of grown up together as we've visited the zoo over the past decade. She'll be happy to know that Batu is doing well and hopefully helping to strengthen to orangutan population.
 
A male orangutan was born March 2 at the Metro Richmond Zoo:

Metro Richmond Zoo announces birth of male orangutan

Taavi was born to first-time parents Farley and Zoe on March 2, 2021. Due to Zoe not showing maternal instincts towards Taavi, he is now receiving round-the-clock care from zoo staff.

Taavi is receiving behind-the-scenes care at the zoo and is not on exhibit. He now weighs 10 pounds and is five months old.

Bornean or Sumatran? All of the info on the zoos website that I can find just lists "orangutan" generically. I assume they are not breeding hybrid in an AZA facility?
 
Here is the recent (8/23/2021) North American Orangutan population.

The Center for Great Apes, Gulf Breeze Zoo, Pittsburgh Zoo, Suncoast Primate Sanctuary, and Metro Richmind Zoo all have orangutans as well. But they are not yet included on the list. If you would like to see them, let me know. (I would not include The Center for Great Apes and Suncoast, as they have a lot of individuals but they do not participate in breeding programs.)
