A new swing is hanging at the Denver Zoo’s Sumatran orangutan enclosure, not to celebrate Jaya’s prime fathering years, but for the arrival of baby Siska, born back in August!
While everyone initially wondered who Siska’s papa was, the DNA results are finally in, and who better to deliver the news than the king of paternity reveals, Maury Povich himself!
Fresh off receiving the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor, Maury Povich is here to help us announce the paternity results for Siska, our four-month-old Sumatran orangutan! Is Siska’s father thirty-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya? Watch the video for the big reveal! 🧡 pic.twitter.com/jyh1Mp0Y7C

Jaya, though in his babymaking prime, can officially relax when it comes to diaper duty. In a video posted by the zoo, Maury announces, “When it comes to the orangutan 4-month-old Siska, Berani… you ARE the father!” Cue the cheering zoo staff and a relieved Berani, now the proud papa of an adventurous little orangutan.
