Daytime talk show host Maury Povich, who is well known for announcing the results of paternity tests on air, took his talents to the Denver Zoo for a big reveal.
The 84-year-old “Maury” host told waiting fans which male in the orangutan group fathered a four-month-old baby named Siska. The options were 30-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya.

Is Siska’s father thirty-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya? Watch the video for the big reveal!” the zoo’s social media post said in the caption.
