Sprout's Bold Moves Amidst Orangutan Family Dynamics



via IFTTT Orangutan Sprout seems to have her confidence back as she has a go at her mum Jazz and later even steals some food from the flanged male Djimat. Jazz has both babies Jim and Joe in her arms, picking up some food pellets. Sprout her daughter is next to her. A minute later Jazz still has Joe in her arms but Jim is playing in the back. Sprout grabs her mum's arm as to say "Hey leave some food for me." Listen carefully when she has her back to the camera. You hear a little grunt coming from her. You can just see Jazz moving her head up fast in reply to her little grunt. In the next clip, you see Djimat the dad of Jim and Joe. Jim walks in front of him and on his right is Sprout. You'll love the next clip where Jim comes up to Sprout and has a quick sniff of what she's eating. Djimat is such a laid back maled orangutan. When Sprout comes rushing in to steal some food out of his hand, he just opens his hand and let it go. l Jazz and the babies are walking around in search of some more food and when she gets too close to her daughter she is kept away by her at an arms length, literally as Sprout stretches out her arm. Jazz looks a bit annoyed by her reaction, but turns around and leaves her to it. A close-up of Jazz and the babies.
