Magic Moment As Orangutan Mother Has First Interaction With Her Baby

The moment we have been waiting for! Orangutan mother and grandmother Jazz is looking after her newborn baby and the newborn baby of her daughter. Sprout was too inexperienced to look after her son and when she gave birth she walked away. Her mother Jazz picked the baby up straight away and never let it go since. 

Jazz is sitting up the top. Her mum Jazz with the two babies below her. Sprout followed them around in the past, but always at quite a distance. 

Jazz sits on a log with baby Jim and Joe while she tries to squeeze a spot. At that point son, Jim is on her left and Joe on the right. 

To my delight suddenly Sprout appeared. She's taking Jim's arm first, holding it, sniffing it. Then she moves over to the other site. Sits next to her mum. Jim is trying to grab Joe's face. Jim slightly touches Sprout's hand and then Sprout starts playing with her son's hair. While she is doing that have a look at Jazz, she looks at her daughter and watches her and plays with the food on her lip. Looking quite content for Sprout to do what she does. Sprout holds her hand out and an inquisitive Jim tries to grab her hand. When Sprout pulls his hand, he pulls away. Sprout still has her hand out and then pulls her's son's arm up ( She didn't yank the arm as hard as it looks in the video,  I just edited a bit out as it was me that jolted the camera, I just got too excited about the magic moment lol) Jazz is watching, but is quite happy for Sprout to check out her son. Sprout puts her son's arm in her mouth and slightly bites on it. Joe pulls away his hand. Sprout still holding onto his arm. After that Jazz moved around. 

Later in the afternoon. Sprout approached the three again. Sat close to her mum and the babies. Her son was holding his arm out and then Jim was doing the same. So she held Jim's hand first and I think Jazz was pulling Jim away a little. That's when she let go and then started to hold her son Joe's hand. Joe grabbed one of their fingers and then Sproud was holding his hand. She let go. Sprout watches her mum clean Jim's bits. Jazz is holding Jim's foot and Joe is nibbling on Jim's foot. Sprout gets up and has a proper look and then sits down again. Joe is fully awake looking at his mum.  Sprout starts playing with her son's hand again. Jazz pulls both babies closer. Sprout grabs Jim's leg to have a look. As Jazz seemed to finish cleaning Jim her son, she now starts to clean Joe's bits. When she's done she moves around and goes back inside. What a magic day! I can't wait to go again to see how it all develops between the four. What do you think, does Sprout know who her son is?

Two Babies, A Bottle - Climbing Multitasking Orangutan Mother

Orangutan Jazz is an amazing Mother and grandmother. Looking after both her baby and her daughter's baby. 

At Dudley zoo, they always get their drinks in bottles. It's just flavoured water, nothing sweet. It's normally sugar-free fruit tea. Jazz is still holding on tightly to her baby Jim and her daughter's baby Joe when she gets her bottle. She really has her arms full and carrying the bottle in her mouth. She's the epitome of a multitasking mum. Sprout, her older daughter and mum of Joe is sitting by the water with her food and drink. The concrete walls you see are part of their old enclosure. They've got the new enclosure next door adjacent to this. At the time of filming the new enclosure was taken up for a few hours by the flanged male Orangutan Benji and Benji likes his own space he doesn't like company, so they are sharing the new space. 

Jim is on her left and Joe is on her right. Jim tries to get to the nicely-coloured bottle. 

Sprout is on the move walking past Jazz and the babies. She has got a carrot at the bottom of her drink. 

Jazz moves as well, making sure the babies are holding on and she's carrying the bottle in her mouth. Jim is still trying to grab the bottle. Climbing is not a problem for her, she manages it all. 

A few close-ups of Sprout enjoying her drink. Up above Jim is still trying to get to the bottle and Sprout tries to get the carrot piece out of the bottle. Before she bites the bottle, she takes a stick and tries it with that. That's what I love about her, she's always thinking, looking for a resolution to any problems. Like when she was a baby, using a newspaper to circumference the electric fence. Did you see the video? (This is the link to that video https://youtu.be/STBX5c5cuDQ). In the end, she bites a little hole in the bottle to get the piece out. A close-up of Jim. Joe is suckling on the other side. Jim tries to play with the bottle, but Jazz moves it to her side. She makes sure the babies are holding on when she moves.  A quick look at dad, Djimat.

Chimp Flynn From Kicking The Window To His Sharing And Caring Site

You know when Chimpanzee Flynn is just about to jump-charge the window,  his hair goes up, he starts hooting and then he charges and jumps with all fours on the glass. You might have seen Chimpanzee Flynn on my channel before. He loves doing this. I think he gets a kick out of scaring unsuspecting visitors. This is one side of him, but the other side is really sweet. Out of all the chimps, he is the one that always comes to the window without fail. Especially when he recognises the people. He loves sitting at the window watching the people and the sweetest thing of all is that he always offers to share his food with him when you hold your hand out. 

Today he choose to eat in front of the window, showing me all the biscuits he managed to collect outside and then he's offering up some treats to the visitors. A close-up of his hand and foot. Jambo the hairless chimp lying behind him. Flynn turns around and grooms him. When I moved to the other window, Flynn followed. 

Outside Flynn gets some more food at dinner time and balances up the rope back to go inside. Steady there Flynn :-). 

A little later Flynn is back outside again and Coco the oldest chimp and oldest animal at Twycross zoo is running towards him. Flynn takes her in his arms and patted her back. Wouldn't be able to describe it any better than the people's reaction in the video. Awwww. When Coco goes on the back of him, Flynn has a split-second look on his face "what are you doing, I'm sure it suppose to be the other way around" Kibali has a quick look and then they're going their separate ways. 

To finish it all off, another pat on the head for Coco.
