- aaaaaOne of the important component in infant development of the orangutan is the parent. In the exsitu habitat, some evidences of infants have been rejected by their parents were identified. The problem arousing from this condition was how to take care of orphan orangutan infants that are refused by their parents or the disability of parents in taking care of their infants. The aim of the research was to determine the difference of behavior development between infants nursed by their parents and those nursed by people. The research has been conducted at the Schmutzer Primate Center (PPS), Ragunan Zoological Park, Jakarta and Indonesia Safari Park (TSI), Bogor, from September 2007 to April 2008. The objects of the research were eight orangutan infants from Kalimantan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus); their age were 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years old. Focal animal and ad libitum sampling methods were used on the research. The observation was done on the development of orangutan infant behavior which based on resting, moving, feeding, playing, social, agonistic, and self care. Results indicated that based on the activity pattern, only Chelin (PPS3) and Kano (PPS4) were correspond to general activity pattern in natural habitat. Behavior development of moving and playing increased as orangutan infants grew up. Feeding behavior development did not show neither increase or decrease. However, social behaviour development decreased as they grew up. These findings indicated that the behavior development of moving and playing of orangutan infants in PPS nursed by their parents is better than those nursed by people, while, the development of social and feeding behavior of infants in PPS nursed by people is better than those nursed by their parents.
