Not all orangutan mothers raise their infants the same way
83% Informative
Sumatran orangutan mothers differ from one another in how they behave with and take care of their infants and how flexibly they adjust their mothering behaviors as their infants grow.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior found that mothers consistently differ in their maternal behaviors toward their infants.
Consistent differences suggest that individual maternal personalities may exist, potentially influencing infant development.
