COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - It's a girl!
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo announced the gender of their newest baby Sumatran orangutan on Friday.
The baby still doesn't have a name. She was born on June 6.
Visitors to the zoo in Colorado Springs can watch the baby hang out with her mom Sumagu in the Primate World exhibit.
"The newborn is very quiet and will continuously cling to Sumagu for the next five to six months," the zoo wrote in a Facebook post.
The baby orangutan is the third offspring for Sumagu, who is 30, and the 27-year-old dad Baka.
