Cameron Park Zoo said that the new orangutan baby, Razak, has been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia.
An inguinal hernia is a protrusion of abdominal cavity contents through the inguinal canal.
The zoo said this is a common condition in human infants, but it requires surgery to correct.
They said that the zoo’s veterinarian has put together a team of specialist for the procedure.
