The Virginia Zoo on Instagram: "We are APE-solutely thrilled to announce that Dara and her new baby are now out on habitat! AND we have more exciting news... it's a GIRL! Over the past few week the Asia Team has been working on enforcing bonding with mom and baby, as well as introducing dad, Solaris, to the duo. Today is the first day they have been given access to start exploring the outside! Solaris, Dara, and the baby will be provided access to go inside during this adjustment, so there may be times they won't be visible. This is to ensure there is a calm, quiet place for mom and little one to retreat to if needed. We do not yet have a name for the newest orangutan, so stay tuned! Make sure to swing into the Zoo soon to see if you can catch a glimpse of the inseparable pair!"
