Maury Povich reveals father of Denver Zoo orangutan

The Denver Zoo enlisted the help of talk-show host Maury Povich to reveal the paternity results of a baby orangutan named Siska. After months of uncertainty, it was determined that 30-year-old Berani was the father. The announcement was met with cheers from the zoo staff and delight from Berani. The baby orangutan is part of a breeding effort to increase the population of critically endangered Sumatran orangutans. Orangutans are threatened by factors such as logging, forest fires, and hunting. The zoo staff had to be careful not to interfere with the mother and baby during their bonding time, leading to a delay in determining the father.
