The Denver Zoo welcomed a new baby orangutan last August, but they weren’t sure who the father was. I could have been Berani or Jaya. They ran the DNA tests and announced which of the male apes it is in a very fun a and clever way. They got a celebrity who is famous for finding fathers make the announcement, Maury Povich! Here is he unsealing the envelope and letting the world know.
Maury sounds a little hoarse. So, in case you didn’t catch that, the 30 year old orangutan Berani is the father. Berani did say that he’s going to clean up his act and get a job at Burger King so he can provide bananas for his baby momma.
To be honest, looking at the Berani and Jaya, Jaya looks like he could be the bigger orangutan playa. His orange fur is more velvety, like he should have a glass of Hennessy in each hand saying, “I got you on my mind girl.”
