Future's bright, future's orang

A BABY orangutan takes a peep at the world, snug in the arms of her mum.

Mum Sophia, 27, was the first orangutan in the world to be coached on
how to be a good parent by zookeepers — who used stuffed toys in their
lessons.

The former orphan has since become a caring mum to four babies,
including her wide-eyed youngest who gives her a kiss.

The six-month-old member of the endangered species, who has not yet
been named, is a star draw at Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo.
