North American Orangutan Population

The infant born at the Audubon Zoo in July is 0.1 Bulan, who was actually born on July 17, 2019, to 0.1 Feliz and 1.0 Jambi.

I believe the confusion arose when the announcement of Bulan's birth was republicized in September 2020, and subsequently posted to the Audubon Zoo News thread here on the forum.

 

My daughter and I visited the Philadelphia Zoo this week and were surprised to find that Batu is no longer here. The Zoo personnel said she had been transferred but didn't know where. Anyone know where she's currently located?

 

Even though I can't divulge exactly where Batu is currently residing until the receiving facility announces her acquisition, I can say that she was transferred to a zoo on the west coast to be paired with a male around the same age as her.

 

Thanks for this, I appreciate it. Batu was born just months before my daughter, so they have sort of grown up together as we've visited the zoo over the past decade. She'll be happy to know that Batu is doing well and hopefully helping to strengthen to orangutan population.

 

Kera Wak at Cleveland gave birth to a healthy male infant on April 28th!

The infant is female and has been named Madu!

 

The male infant born April 28, 2021, to 0.1 Kera Wak and 1.0 Tiram at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo was named Zaki.

0.1 Kawan was transferred from the Henry Vilas Zoo to the Hogle Zoo on June 8, 2021.

@EsserWarrior Metro Richmond Zoo is missing from the list. They have two groups of supposedly hybrid orangutans.

 

I have Metro Richmond on the actual document, but I struggled to find anything about their animals, so I didn't add them.

 

1.0 Bornean orangutan (Daniel) has died at Phoenix Zoo:

https://www.abc15.com/entertainment...ear-old-bornean-orangutan-at-phoenix-zoo-dead

Daniel was born on April 11, 2006, at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and came to the Phoenix Zoo in late 2013 to be paired with Kasih, a young female orangutan, the zoo said. Kasih died in 2017.

 

A male orangutan was born March 2 at the Metro Richmond Zoo:

Metro Richmond Zoo announces birth of male orangutan

Taavi was born to first-time parents Farley and Zoe on March 2, 2021. Due to Zoe not showing maternal instincts towards Taavi, he is now receiving round-the-clock care from zoo staff.

Taavi is receiving behind-the-scenes care at the zoo and is not on exhibit. He now weighs 10 pounds and is five months old.

 

Bornean or Sumatran? All of the info on the zoos website that I can find just lists "orangutan" generically. I assume they are not breeding hybrid in an AZA facility?

 

i dont believe Metro Richmond is a part AZA

 

Richmond has never been AZA and has no desire to be part of it

 

They do, however, have some involvement in multiple AZA programs.

~Thylo

 

Both parent animals, Farley and Zoe, are hybrid orangutans

 

Here is the recent (8/23/2021) North American Orangutan population.

The Center for Great Apes, Gulf Breeze Zoo, Pittsburgh Zoo, Suncoast Primate Sanctuary, and Metro Richmind Zoo all have orangutans as well. But they are not yet included on the list. If you would like to see them, let me know. (I would not include The Center for Great Apes and Suncoast, as they have a lot of individuals but they do not participate in breeding programs.)

 

Chickie at the Memphis zoo is Sumatran, not Bornean.

 

@EsserWarrior by the way Niki at the Indianapolis Zoo is a female not a male.

 

0.1 Sekali at Toronto Zoo is pregnant and due with her second infant in April 2022! Sire is first-time dad, Budi.
