Is there anything more agonisingly cute than a sleepy baby orangutan hiccuping?

If you’re not sure, today’s your lucky day – because little Lily from Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas has been filmed doing exactly that.

Lily was born via Caesarean section on September 7, after mum Daisy showed signs of complications, by doctors from College Hill Obstetrics and Gynaecology – who usually treat humans.

“We are both primates, and share many traits.”

Since arriving in the world the little one has proved to be a smash hit on the zoo’s social media channels.
