Mama and Baby
Many of the Orangutans at the feeding session were mothers and their babies. Female Orangutans do not become mothers until they are around 15 years old and then only give birth every 7 or 8 years. The babies stay with the mothers until they are around 10, nursing for the first five years, although they do begin eating fruits and leaves during that period.
