ZooTampa at Lowry Park is celebrating the birth of a Bornean orangutan.

The baby boy was born to first-time mom Randee on November 15.

In a news release, the zoo said it’s the eleventh orangutan born there.

According to the zoo, the wild Bornean orangutan population has plunged more than 50% over the last 60 years because of deforestation and unsustainable palm oil farming..

The new addition made his public debut on Thursday.
