The critically endangered baby orangutan was born in England

Video footage with the little animal has thrilled users on social networks

 

A baby from the critically endangered species of Sumatran orangutans was born at a zoo in England.

The boy was born thanks to his mother Subis on November 14 at 4:30 pm local time, Deeside reports.

Currently, zoo staff are in the process of choosing a baby name that has not separated from their mother's arms since birth.

The birth of the small orangutan has become a sensation as policies have been in place for years to preserve the species of Sumatran orangutans.

Sumatran orangutans have been declared a critically endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature list.

In the wild, their total number does not exceed 14,000 individuals.

"New members of the Sumatran orangutan family are always a cause for celebration. Subis is a wonderful mother and takes great care of her baby. The two are inseparable, "says Mike Jordan of Chester Zoo.

The Sumatran orangutan is one of the most endangered primate species.

With the increase of po[CENSORED]tion in Southeast Asia, more and more wild areas are being cleared to create palm oil plantations.

In this way, Sumatran orangutans are forced to leave their habitats and even killed.
