Nangka

Male Sumatran orangutan, arrived at Zoo Atlanta on September 8, 2023

Nangka arrived in Atlanta at the age of 4 months old on a recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Orangutan Species Survival Plan® (SSP). When following his birth at the Sacramento Zoo on May 1, 2023, his biological mother did not provide appropriate maternal care, the SSP recommended that he move to Zoo Atlanta to join adult female Sumatran orangutan Madu, who has an amazing track record of adopting orangutan infants. This incredible supermom accepted Nangka, who has become her fifth adoptive infant. Look for this heartwarming duo at the orangutan complex in our Asian Forest on sunny days when temperatures are above 50 degrees.
