The Denver Zoo had a paternity debacle involving a baby orangutan that was recently born at their zoo.
Zoo officials were unsure who fathered 4-month old Siska. It was down to two potential fathers – 30-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya. And who better to deliver the news of the paternity than the Godfather of paternity tests himself … Maury Povich!
The zoo came up with the clever idea to hire Maury to make the announcement which was revealed on X (formerly Twitter).
They even did side-by-side photos of baby Siska next to the potential dads.
The DNA results are in, and we're delighted to share that we now know who Siska's father is! Stay tuned tomorrow for this special announcement from an extra special guest…👀 Are you Team Jaya or Team Berani? Let us know in the comments below! 🦧 pic.twitter.com/e94ixeed8m

Berani was determined to be the father and in the video posted below he seems to be pretty happy about the news. Thankfully he didn’t run off stage like we’ve seen some baby daddy’s do after finding out the results.
Fresh off receiving the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor, Maury Povich is here to help us announce the paternity results for Siska, our four-month-old Sumatran orangutan! Is Siska's father thirty-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya? Watch the video for the big reveal! 🧡 pic.twitter.com/jyh1Mp0Y7C
