 We are ecstatic to report that today, both Chiam and Ghanti, adult orangutan females, gave birth to baby boys. Chiam's baby was noticed first as volunteers were about to start cleaning her night den in the morning, and Ghanti gave birth that lunch time. Both mothers and babies are doing really well and appear to have taken naturally to motherhood, which we expected of Chiam, a second-time mother, and is great to see from Ghanti, who has given birth for the first time. It is quite incredible that both females gave birth on the same day - at least is will be easy to remember their birthday!

I stumbled across your good news whilst researching the possibilities for a post retirement expedition. It's just the creepy crawlies that bother me! Congratulations on the double birth - that must make any difficulties (including the spiders) worth it. What wonderful work you all do.

Congratulations girls! I bet the babies are just adorable. You must let us know once they have been named.
