24 Hour Care for Aurora, Baby Orangutan at the Houston Zoo

Fifty staff and volunteers work together to provide round-the-clock care for Aurora, our infant orangutan at the Houston Zoo. Multiple caregivers ensure she does not get too attached to any one person, as our goal is to get her back with her orangutan family. Infant orangutans require as much care, love and attention as a human infant. After her mother refused to care for her, Houston Zoo staff took her into loving arms.
