Dumadi Playing and Growing at 8 Weeks Old

At 8 weeks old, Dumadi is cutting his first tooth.
 
Dumadi is fed eight times every day. Zoo keepers provide constant care around the clock for this endangered orangutan.
Keepers say that 8-week-old Dumadi is more alert and aware of his surroundings.
 
 
Zoo keepers play with Dumadi to encourage movement and activity.
 
 
After drinking his bottle, Dumadi is relaxed and sleepy.
