A video showing an orangutan mom lovingly caring for her 3-month-old baby has melted hearts online.
A video shared by the Toronto Zoo in Canada shows an orangutan mom tenderly caring for her 3-month-old baby, and the footage has melted hearts across the internet.
Sekali, a Sumatran orangutan, gave birth in April 2022, and her beautiful baby was named “Wali,” which means “guardian” in Indonesian.
In the clip posted on YouTube, little Wali is lying on his stomach with Sekali by his side. The mother gently strokes her baby, and when she places her hand over his little face, he playfully bites her finger.
Like any mother, Sekali seems enchanted by her baby. She strokes him, watches him, touches his fur, and in the cutest moment of the video, she grabs Wali’s tiny foot and gives it two kisses.
Wali has grown and now lives at the zoo with his mother Sekali and father Budi. In a more recent video, we see some of his adventures over the past few years; the baby is now a lively young child, but still incredibly adorable.
