Sumatran orangutan Emma gives birth but her five-year-old son Tripa is struggling with developmental issues and is half the size of other orangutans his age. He relies on Mum for everything and is reluctant to leave her side. Will Mum turning her attention to the new baby give Tripa the impetus he needs to venture out and start playing with his cousins?
