Baby Orangutan Struggles and Jazz's Sweet Support

*Baby Orangutan Struggles and Jazz's Sweet Support*
Super mum orangutan Jazz is giving Joe a helping hand. Joe is hungry and wants some milk from Jazz, his surrogate mother/grandma, so he climbs up to Jazz, who has raised him since birth. I wasn't too sure who was making the whimpering sound, or if it came from Joe. He seemed to struggle a bit that day and appeared to be under the weather. I wonder if he has caught a bug of some sort. Jazz reached out over the ledge to pull little Joe up to her. It was such a sweet thing to do. She normally leaves them to their own devices but must have recognised that Joe wasn't feeling too well. Her own son, Jim, followed suit and started nursing as well.

A little later, the two had some playtime. Little Joe looked a little better; perhaps he just needed a rest and a feed.
