  • Javan Gibbon Hecla gave birth to her seventh infant on 12 July 2010. Although we don't have footage of that birth, Perth Zoo staff caught on film the birth of another of Hecla's offspring, a female called Cahaya, in 2008.
    It is thought to be the first time a Javan Gibbon birth has been caught on camera and we thought you might like to see it.

    I know it wasnt on purpose, but wow how nature works...
    Look how the baby is caught and lifted up by the head/neck with no injury...
    Amazing few seconds of film all around, and we thank you for it!

    This is the beautiful work of nature in action. What a wonderfully uncomplicated birth. Love the Dad's reaction to be involved as soon as Hecla helps her newborn emerge.

  • @PARTISANSDESTROYINGTYRANNY

    It's incredible how momma instinctively knows to keep her hand back there to catch or guide her baby out then sever the umbilical cord.

    Video title is "Birth of a Javan Gibbon"
    Then, a warning: " Might contain scenes of giving birth"
    I almost cried.

    Hi @MsHermette, the infant, Cahaya, is still going strong and is a very active gibbon at the Zoo.

    Wow - she's a no fuss, experienced, mother! That's one way to get rid of an annoying umbilical cord. A little bit worrying that she didn't attend to the baby once born but I understand Cahaya is strong and healthy.

    @ 1:10 sec. The other monkey looked at the infant and then looked at the mama's backside like, "That just came out of there"??? 🤣

    Right on!!!! Good job mom. She made it look easy. Like it was nothin'
    Push....Push....Pop...Grab......and. BABY!!!
    And if that's Dad beside her looking on like WTF!?!? He did a better job than I did. Standing behind my wife, as soon as the Doctor held my first born son up and he cries...I got dizzy, really hot and sick to my stomach. BAMM...right to the floor. Woke up in the other bed in my wife's hospital room. A mofo of a headache , busted lip and 4 stiches over my left eye. Hit the equipment cart with my face.

  • @maysclimate9443
    @maysclimate9443 Před 3 lety

    I just saw another video that says this mother abandoned the baby the same day it was born. It also said this is common for the mother to abandon her firstborn...does anyone know the reason for this?

  • @danfortin8429
    @danfortin8429 Před 9 lety +1

    No kiddin huh? SNAP! and she's good to have been attentive to the little one, nearly shot across the enclosure! Good momma though that's for sure. I love to see them "hook up" it's such an awesome thing to witness.

  • @russgammon1979
    @russgammon1979 Před 5 lety +1

    Can't the way she stepped on the umbilical and severed the cord be harmful to the baby?

  • @Tara1978Tara
    @Tara1978Tara Před 3 lety

    At 2:14 I thought maybe the baby had a broken neck from the way mom had been swinging it around by it’s head.

  • @utoobjunkie4902

    Amazing births! In human births u have to wait for blood flow to stop between mother and infant then cut off blood supply from placenta to infant and another clamp closer to infants abdomen for umbilical clamp and when pulsing has stopped cut the cord between the two places and wait for birth of placeta and these days hand off infant for care by neonatal nurse then back to the mother. Gibbons they just git er done now!

  • @SpiritsEnchantments
    @SpiritsEnchantments Před 11 lety

    I don't think she was dead. Watch it again. Her little legs were moving all over the place and then the mother was clutching her at the end of the video. I believe the next scene was Momma and baby swinging through the trees. This mother has had 7 babies. She's just quick and confident with her actions.

    BRUTAL! stretch----- SNAP !!! and the little one cries out proving it' was at ;least alive and well at that rubber band like pull on it's little tummy. Then we see the little arms looking like a Barrel of Monkeys game in the flesh with them super hook arms flailing around as it screamed in pain....Welcome Sky Hook Jr. Welcome. A bit amusing how Mom bit the umbilical once and then went to work cleaning her hand like a ice cream cone first.
    Dead? Nope. Alive? YES the little one was alive @ 1:56 and @ 2:15 moving around. WTH? As much as them little hooks for hands flailed around? It'd have taken a knock to it's noggin to make it stop living, it's alive as can be.

    Yes the baby does look dead. you can't even see it breath. The way the mom took that tiny thing of the cord, was a little rough. you could here the baby right off. It doesn't look like it's alive at all.

      You do know This is an animal birth and not human and this is how they do it. Pretty sure they don't have access to clamps!!
