For the first time in 11 years, the Ramat Gan Safari Park just outside Tel Aviv saw the birth of an orangutan earlier this month.

The news broke only this week because the infant was hidden by her furry mother for several weeks by hugging it closely. But in recent days, the mother Tanna, let workers get a glimpse of her infant, confirming the almost-historic development.
The proud father, called by the staff Rachamim (mercy in Hebrew) was incidentally the last living orangutan in the safari to have been born on its premises until the birth this month. His mother, named Rochaleh, died when he was 7 years old.
Watch the following footage of the newbie at the safari.
