Baby Sumatran Orangutan has a Name
Sumatran orangutan Feliz’s new baby finally has a name. The baby has been named Bulan (Boo-lan), which means “moon” in Bahasa Indonesia. Bulan was born on the night of a full moon and many of the animal care staffers started calling Bulan their moon baby, so the name is quite fitting.
Feliz and Bulan are staying behind-the-scenes for the time being using that time to bond before they are introduced to visitors. Sumatran orangutans are considered to be critically endangered and are threatened with extinction.
