Who do you call if you’re trying to ascertain the identity of the father of someone — or in this case a baby orangutan? Talk show host and veteran paternity results expert Maury Povich, of course. That’s what the Denver Zoo did this week when they wanted to find out whether Berani or Jaya was four-month old Siska’s real dad.
For years, Povich, born in Washington D.C. and a Landon School alum, has announced paternity results on his TV tabloid show. He delivered the results of four-month old orangutan Siska’s father Tuesday with his signature flair.
