Orangutan mum and baby

I’ve been regularly visiting Borneo for many years now for my annual Orangutan Foundation fundraising trips which gives me the opportunity to see many of the baby orangutans grow up. I took the two photos below  exactly four years apart. The first is Tut Tut with her 2 day old baby in October 2009. She had twins which is incredibly rare for orangutans but sadly her other baby died. Then last week I met her again with her baby now aged four and as you’ll see still breast feeding. By this age they are eating plenty of other food so I suspect this is mainly comfort feeding now.
