That's Some Snuggly Baby, Huh?

I simply can't be the only one whose first thought at this news was that the Indonesians were being really mean to that mother:

A formerly blind Sumatran orangutan can see her baby twins for the first time after undergoing cataract surgery in the first such operation in Indonesia.

The orangutan, named Gober, was captured for her own safety in late 2008 in North Sumatra province after she went blind in both eyes due to cataracts. She gave birth to the twins in early 2011 as part of a breeding program.

I mean, you've seen baby orangutans, right? Now Gober knows just exactly how butt ugly her offspring are.



That was some breathtaking surgery, in any case.
