Netflix viewers can see baby animals from Ohio up close and personal, live — the streaming platform will be showing feeds from the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Thursday afternoons.

"The new livestream show — only on Netflix — features a live look at the Zoo’s gorillas, rhinos, orangutans and otters!" the zoo wrote in a Facebook post. Tune in live or catch up with episodes on demand any time.

Viewers can tune in live each Thursday from 2 p.m. to 4 pm. Eastern Time through November 2.

The program will feature the zoo’s western lowland gorillas, eastern black rhinos, Bornean orangutans and Asian small-clawed otters. Each species has at least one baby present at the zoo.

Budiwati and Bagus are 2-year-old twin otter pups. Dalia is a 1,000 pound, 1-year-old rhino. The orangutans have an older sister, Merah, and 2-year-old younger brother Zaki. Newborn gorilla Kunda was born July 19, and fellow youngster Kayembe was born in 2021.
