NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- The Virginia Zoo is patiently awaiting the birth of orangutan Dara's baby.
The zoo has set up a sponsored live camera to capture, not only the orangutans but maybe the birth.
This will be the first offspring of Dara, an 18-year-old Bornean orangutan, who is expected to deliver the baby in mid-June to early July, according to the Zoo.
The zoo announced she was pregnant back in April.
Zookeepers observed breeding behavior between Dara and 14-year-old male Solaris last fall. The physical characteristics of pregnancy became apparent to trained animal care staff after a couple weeks.
In May, Dara had an ultrasound. Veterinarians said the baby looked healthy.
The live camera will let guests watch Dara and her partner, Solaris, any time.
