As you'll see Mum and grandma Jazz is still holding on tight to both of the babies. Joe her own son and her daughter's son Jim. She is still doing a grand job caring for the two babies. I was lucky enough to see them both awake and wiggling in mum's arms.
On the left, she is holding her daughter Sprout's baby Jim and on the right Joe her own baby.
Jazz was proud to show off the two babies as she came quite close.
Nothing much changed with dad Djimat. The gentle giant was resting and yawning at the back.
Jazz started pulling a face when she was chewing on a leave. Maybe it was a bit sour or just too chewy?
Joe who is nearly a month older than Jim was wiggling quite a lot already. If we think she's got her hands full now. She definitely will when both are getting bigger and start wiggling. I'm sure she will be fine. She feeds both regularly and she doesn't differentiate between the two either. When she's climbing, she makes sure they hold on tight. If one slips she uses her feet to hold them. At times it is quite difficult telling the two apart, especially when they are sleeping, cuddling up in Jazz's arms. If you look closer at Joe's chest, it looks like when he's stretching that he has a little heart pigmentation on his chest (might need a little imagination lol). How sweet is that? Sprout wasn't too far away, fishing out the leaves from the water and eating them. She's not as subdued as she was before. I do still feel sorry for her and wish I could give her a hug. I'm sure in time Sprout will come around. After Sprout, you'll see that Jazz switched the babies over. Joe is now on the left and Jim is on the right.
The story behind Jazz having the two babies. Orangutan Mother Jazz (30) from the Dudley zoo became super mum as she's not just looking after her own 4-week-old baby boy Jim, now she's looking after her daughter's newborn baby Jim as well, as her daughter found first-time motherhood a little bit challenging.
When her daughter Sprout gave birth and didn't know what to do, her mum Jazz quickly stepped in to save the day and took on her baby as well.
Jazz is carrying the two babies around with her. Nursing both the babies, giving love to both, care and attention. Staff is closely monitoring both babies and both mums.
