First orang utan born at London Zoo, Toli cuddles baby

Mar. 03, 1961 - The first orangutan to be born at the London zoo. No Orangutan has ever been successfully reared in the British Isles, so the London zoo are taking very special care of the new female baby born to Toli and Charlie last Sunday. The section in which they live in the monkey house is cordoned off to give them seclusion for the first week or two, seven and a half year old Toli came to the London zoo when she was a year old, and Charlie arrived when he was three. He was brought back by David Attenborough, brother of the film star Richard, after a Zoo Quest expedition to Indonesia in 1956. Photo shows Toli, the orang Utan at the London Zoo, seen with her baby - the first orang Utan to be born there
