Being a mom didn’t come naturally for Zoe theorangutan, orphaned when she was only nine months old.
Turner was happy to try and help and said Zoe was “watching me curiously” the whole time.
“I just had my breastfeeding bra on, and I was able to show [Zoe] everything with zero modesty. I wanted her to be able to see the whole process because orangutans don’t wear shirts. I wanted her to be able to see my breasts and see Caleb and be able to see him rooting and looking for it and the latch,” Turner explained.
