The baby orangutan [oh-rang-eh-tan] was not growing. His mom did not make enough milk.

Zoo keepers helped out. They wore furry vests. They fed the baby from a bottle. He is getting bigger.

Pray: Maybe you would like to work with zoo animals one day. Thank God that there are so many ways we can care for His creation.
