Show Notes
Denver Zoos Sumatran orangutan, Hesty, is expecting her first baby in late May, marking a significant moment for the critically endangered species. Hestys mate, Jaya, will also become a dad for the first time. The zoo is preparing for the late second trimester delivery, aware of risks with first-time moms. Orangutan pregnancies last about 260-270 days, close to humans, and end with a single infant weighing 3-4.5 pounds. Moms carry and nurse their young for years afterward.
