Registering at Target is a no-brainer for any expectant mother — especially Mei, a pregnant orangutan living at a Texas zoo.
When the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco announced orangutan Mei's pregnancy last week, they also announced her extensive baby shower registry at the retail giant.
On the list are obvious goods like blankets and bowls, as well as less conventional items like the director's cut of Space Jam on DVD; Fantasy, a Britney Spears body fragrance; and Dolly Parton's "Pure & Simple" on CD.
"They're enrichment items," explained Duane McGregor, the zoo's spokesperson. "They're intended for both the adult [orangutans] and the baby, to be shared among all of them."
Because orangutans share 97 percent DNA with humans, the zoo's program curator Terri Cox explained, "They're taken care of much like a human baby."
The zoo has requested "Goodnight Moon," by Margaret Wise Brown and "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear," by Bill Martin Jr., anticipating the baby to come will love books as much as Mei and the father, KJ.
"They like to look at picture books," Cox told InsideEdition.com. "And they're generally pretty gentle with them."
