A new orangutan is in town.
And it is stealing hearts and racking up views and likes on social media.
The baby Bornean orangutan was born three weeks ago on March 23, according to social media posts by Mandai Wildlife Reserve on Friday (April 10).
“We have a feeling this is just the beginning”, said the wildlife parks operator.
In a video posted by Mandai Wildlife Reserve, the auburn-haired female baby orangutan can be seen clinging on to its mother, Miri.
“Miri and her newborn are doing well,” shared Wendy Chua, who is a curator for animal care (operations) at Mandai Wildlife Group.
The pair had time to rest, bond and adjust comfortably while continuing to receive close care from the team after Miri gave birth at Orangutan Island in Singapore Zoo.
