Maury Povich has a reputation for being straight to the point and delivering incredible television by bringing families together and tearing them apart. When the Denver Zoo was unsure of which orangutan fathered their new baby, they called on Maury Povich to do the honors.
The Denver Zoo called on Maury Povich to deliver the DNA results for which of the orangutans fathered Siska, the facility’s new baby. The father was narrowed down to either 30-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya.
“The results are in!” The Denver Zoo posted on X, along with a video of Povich making the announcement. “When it comes to the orangutan, four-month-old Siska, Berani, you are the father!” Povich revealed in the video.
Povich also pulled the DNA results from an envelope just as he did on his long-running daytime television show. The video then showed several Denver Zoo employees cheering Berani on as he can be seen playing in his habitat.
Siska was born on August 27, 2023, to Eirina, a Sumatran orangutan. This is Eirina’s first baby and she “is an incredible first-time mom who is doing a wonderful job caring for her baby,” the zoo said.
