Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has welcomed a new addition to its animal family!
Earlier this month, a critically endangered Bornean orangutan was born at the Florida-based establishment, according to a press release obtained by PEOPLE.
The animal, a girl, was delivered by c-section on April 13 to mother Luna. She weighed in at 3 lbs., 4 oz.
Luna is currently under 24-hour care and remains in recovery as she recuperates from surgery at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Orangutan house.
Once she and her newborn, who has yet to be named, are both stabilized, they will be reunited and monitored closely by the park’s animal care team.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal theme park that has 3,000 animals from more than 300 species, according to its website.
The location participates in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) "to ensure the welfare and future prosperity of this newborn and her species," per the press release.
Bornean orangutans are from the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). They can weigh anywhere between 66 and 220 pounds, and they are found largely in lowland rainforests and tropical, swamp and mountain forests.
The animals differ in size and appearance from Sumatran orangutans, as Bornean orangutans are generally larger in size and tend to have darker-colored fur.
Currently, the estimated Bornean orangutan population is approximately 104,700. It has declined by more than 50% over the past six decades, per the WWF.
