The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
Ouehand Zoo's nearly three week old Orangutan infant LOVES to sleep. In the wild, Orangutans fashion treetop sleeping nests out of branches. Mom's back is a perfect substitute for now. A.J. Haverkamp's picture and video taken just a few days ago catch "Babyboy" in deep REM sleep.

So beautiful to watch this little guy sleep peacefully. When you see him, please remember the many hundreds of orphans in Borneo and Sumatra who have lost their mothers to poachers as oil palm and timber companies destroy the forest…. Help save the orangutans!

I wonder if orangutans dream.
Also notice in the video how his eyes are constantly moving around, just like when a human is in REM sleep.
