Baby 24yrs old at birth

New record for a frozen embryo

- BY RACHEL BISHOP

WHAT have we hair... a day-old Sumatran orangutan tugs inquisitiv­ely at his mum Emma as she tenderly cradles him.

His arrival at Chester Zoo is a big deal as there are fewer than 6,500 left in the wild on the Indonesian island as hunting, clearance and oil palm plantation­s push them to the brink of extinction. Nick Davis of Chester Zoo said: “Without urgent conservati­on work, it could become the first great ape lost forever.

“It’s now important that this fantastic new arrival helps draw some muchneeded attention to the species.” PEEP SQUEAK Baby looks up

A WOMAN has given birth to a baby who spent a record 24 years as a frozen embryo.
