Visitors to the zoo will be able to get a glimpse of the new infant, which is said to be a boy, on Saturday (July 1).
A 'critically endangered' Bornean orangutan baby has been welcomed at Blackpool Zoo after first-time mother Jingga gave birth.
Jingga, who is 13, was brought to Blackpool in 2017 from her birthplace in Barcelona and the baby’s father, Kawan, joined her, along with Blackpool-born Cherie and Summer, in 2022. Kawan, who is also 13, arrived from Apenheul Zoo in the Netherlands and was an instant hit with the females.The species is in danger of becoming extinct in the wild and those living at Blackpool are part of the European Endangered Species Programme .
“Kawan’s arrival marked the beginning of a new start after our previous male, Ramon moved to a group in Germany that was more suited to him for breeding. “Kawan was selected to form a breeding group at Blackpool Zoo following extensive talks with experts from the European Endangered Species Programme and specialist keepers from the UK and beyond.
