“Orangutan “auntie” Bonnie unabashedly dotes on our youngest orangutan, Redd. Even though Bonnie’s last offspring was born more than three decades ago (our very own Kiko), her maternal instinct remains strong. Of Batang’s social network, Bonnie was the first to meet Redd. While Batang held her newborn, Bonnie lay down in front of them and was seemingly smitten—she wouldn’t take her eyes off of him!” they wrote. In the next few lines they added more about this loving relationship.

“These days, Bonnie is a wonderful playmate for Redd. When she is near him, she often makes a squeaking vocalization to grab his attention and signify her desire to play,” they explained.

Take a look at the video:

“Warms my heart,” wrote an Instagram user. “Oh my they are soooooo special,” expressed another. “That information is so beautiful. Thank you,” commented a third.
