Baby orangutan is cared for by 50 surrogate human mothers

A baby orangutan in Houston's zoo has been rejected by her mother, but 50 surrogate human mothers have stepped in to fill the void.



The bright-eyed baby, who hasn't yet been given a name, was born to an orangutan named Kelly a bit more than a month ago, but the mother stopped feeding and caring for the baby shortly thereafter.

Zoo staffers stepped in to give the baby round-the-clock care.
