Orangutan Baby and Mother - Brookfield Zoo

[ZGrmy]

Sophia, you are such a great mom  !!!

[JLFAN2009]

It's hard to believe that she had no maternal role model herself, and had to be taught mothering skills through plush toys. But by now Sophia is quite experienced -- having previously raised at least two children of her own.

Adorable! We fell in love with Java another baby orangutan born last year at the Como Zoo in St. Paul MN.

STAND UP AGAINST PALM OIL PRODUCTS!!!! These babies are orphaned because people are destroying their natural habitats and planting palm trees to make vegetable oil. It is in nearly every chocolate, every crisp and in 80% of foods on the shelves in your supermarkets. Don't be blinded by the label "vegetable oil" as that is the way of companies disguising the fact that they use Palm Products in their foods!!! DONT BE FOOLED AND HELP SAFE WHAT WE HAVE LEFT OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES!!!!!!!!!!
