This little ape was only three days old when this picture was taken last month at ZOOM Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. And it seems the baby orang utan is somewhat of a miracle birth to his mother of 40-years-old who hadn't been pregnant for 22 years before this one came along.

Fab to see them, but I don't understand why Zoos are messing about creating mixed species cubs when the pure lines are so threatened. Suppose they think that the money it might bring in from extra visitors is worth it, but surely it must have cost a lot to do this.

..when you realise the amount of bad, depraving things that happen all over the globe,  this is so uplifting. Seeing wild animals with delicate needs being looked after.. Very Cute...
