Your morning adorable: Baby orangutan Dodi makes his debut at Germany’s Dresden Zoo

Baby orangutan Dodi was a ridiculously adorable newborn (and we’ve got the photographic evidence to back up that assertion). But somehow, he just seems to get cuter as he grows; he’s now just over a month old and is shown here being presented to the public for the first time at his home, Germany’s Dresden Zoo, this morning.
Dodi is the second offspring for his mother, Daisy; his older sister, Djasinga, is 6 years old and moved from Dresden to the Berlin Zoo last year. By all accounts, Daisy is a devoted mother, which is typical for orangutans -- wild orangs typically live with their mothers until they’re about 6 or 7 years old!
