Baby orangutan born at Sedgwick County Zoo

It’s a girl!

Tao, a Sumatran orangutan, gave birth to a healthy baby girl at the Sedgwick County Zoo on Thursday, the zoo announced on Facebook.

“Mom and baby are both healthy and bonding beautifully,” the zoo’s post said.

Zookeepers will monitor the baby’s development closely and let Tao determine when she’s ready to leave the nest.
