Our paper on what we suspect was an infanticide on Walimah's first baby back in 2015 is out today. It's a sad story, but gives us greater understanding into orangutan behavior and the reproductive and social strategies used by males and females. rdcu.be/bD3dT

We are thrilled to announce that Walimah is a mother again!! We've been eagerly following her pregnancy and anticipating this event! Here is our first glimpse of Cabang Panti's newest baby orangutan. We're all hoping for a better outcome this time!
