This image provided by Audubon Zoo shows Berani, a male Sumatran orangutan who has been at Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. Two popular but endangered great apes are leaving the zoo in hopes that Berani and Casey the gorilla will father babies in their new homes. Zoo officials said in a news release Tuesday, June 6, 2017, that Berani had a daughter eight years ago, but Casey has been paired with four different females without any offspring. Both species are critically endangered and animal care teams hope the change of scenery will spark successful breeding. (Audubon Zoo via AP)
