Strong, Wriggly Baby Orangutan - Myrtle , at Chester Zoo, supported by her amazing mom Sarikei Mom is helping her baby girl to grow in strength and the independence she needs to grow up fit and healthy. In this video 2 month old Baby Myrtle is building muscle and strength by kicking around and pushing herself up on her mom
Sarikei is calm and relaxed and helps her baby exercise while enjoying her fresh foliage snack
This footage was recorded late October 2023 and is from a fairly long series taken when Myrtle was nearly 2 months old
The footage takes time to upload to the channel so is being released in between more current video of Myrtle and her family
More current footage of Myrtle has been released on the channel alongside this earlier series - so don't worry she isn't going backwards on her development this is just older previously unseen video.
If you are uncertain of timescale and updates of any of the animals on the channel please refer to the description for information or put a question in the comments section

Chester Zoo Baby Orangutans
Birth of critically endangered orangutan at Chester Zoo
Chester Zoo is has a very successful record of Orangutan births at the zoo and most of the Orangutan Mothers are able to rear their own young without the assistance of zoo staff, this is largely due to the expert care and facilities the World Class Zoo provides for the animals.
The current animal population have had valuable experience with babies and have observed relatives caring for young, using this learning and experience to enable them to rear their own offspring
Critically Endangered Orangutans
Bornean Orangutans have been considered critically endangered since 2016 with an only an estimated 100,000 left in the wild. They are seriously in danger of extinction which makes the birth of this new baby orangutan very special indeed
