Philadelphia Zoo Orangutans (Tua Relaxing With Her Baby)

Tua looks so relaxed, which is especially noteworthy since this is her first baby. She looks like she has been taking care of babies all her life.

In this video, Tua is reclining up close to the glass with her baby resting comfortably on top of her. Approximately ten thousand visitors were crammed into a relatively small area trying to also get up close to the glass and then stand on a ledge because this was a great opportunity to see the baby.

Okay, ten thousand may be a bit of an exaggeration. But there were definitely a lot of other visitors there - and it is great to see that Tua doesn't mind having all those human eyes peering at her baby!

As I always say, I attribute this kind of relaxed attitude to the wonderful care the Philadelphia Zoo animals get from the Zoo staff.
