Whos Aping Who-Bringing Up Baby

They're hairy, they flaunt their bottoms shamelessly, and their manners are appalling. But look into the eyes of a gorilla, an orangutan or a chimpanzee and you can't help feeling the connection. We're all related, all members of the great ape family. Join National Geographic in the Kansas City Zoo as they visit Jill, the first orangutan ever to have her pregnancy monitored. What scientists learn from her pregnancy could help us understand more about our distant relatives and their existence in the wild.
