Zookeepers in Kansas have welcomed a gorgeous new face into the world – a baby Sumatran orangutan. The little one was born via Caesarean section after mum Daisy showed signs of complications, but looked happy hanging on to the keepers’ ape-imitating outfits while Daisy recovered. Sumatran orangutan Daisy delivered a healthy baby girl at 8:14 this morning via C-section. Sumatrans are one of three species of orangutan, but they are sadly critically endangered due to the destruction of their forest habitat. The Sumatran Orangutan Society says there are just 14,600 remaining in the wild.
