That's lovely - he's been keeping out of the way of the kids when I've seen him!

He is a lovely Orang, not many males can be left in with their young.

It's a wonderful little family they have there: Puluh & his 2 women, plus his 5 children.

I wonder whether the Bornean male Tuan will be left out (or tried out) with his new son baby Iznee ?

They are a lovely family. Are all 5 children Puluh's? I thought the oldest wasn't? Padang (is it?) looks quite big I wonder if he'll have to move on soon.

It must be a big factor in the hugely successful breeding in the group that they can all be together.

Iznee’s dad, Tuan, is taking a back seat as Sarikei bonds with her youngster.

Chester Zoo - Iznee lovely?

To me, that sentence indicates that the zoo is keeping them apart for the time being

Yes, that's how I interpreted it too CZJimmy, but I meant at some stage in the future once the newborn was slightly older.
