  • © Licensed to London News Pictures. 20/12/2016. Bristol, UK. ** EMABARGOED TILL 00.01am, WEDNESDAY 21 DECEMBER 2016 **. AFIA, a western lowland gorilla who is 10 months old with her surrogate mother gorilla Romina, now lives with the other gorillas at Bristol Zoo, after being born by caesarian section on 12 February this year. Keepers at Bristol Zoo have announced that their ëlittle miracleí Afia, the young Western lowland gorilla who has been hand-reared since birth, is now fully integrated with the gorilla troop. Itís been an eventful journey since the young primate was born 10 months ago by emergency caesarean section and fought for her life before being cared for by keepers to ensure her survival.<br />
 In that time keepers have given more than 1,570 bottle feeds, changed nearly 1,400 nappies, given 112 piggy back rides, and spent countless sleepless nights caring for her round-the-clock. Now, having reached a huge milestone, Afia is no longer being cared for by keepers but is spending 24-hours a day with her new gorilla family. She can often be seen exploring her new home on Gorilla Island, or clinging onto her new, surrogate mother gorilla, Romina. Photo credit : Simon Chapman/LNP

  • © Licensed to London News Pictures.  30/05/2017; Bristol, UK. Former baby gorilla AFIA (right), who was born last year and hand reared by keepers is now fully integrated into the gorilla group. Keepers at Bristol Zoo Gardens have revealed that their new baby gorilla is a girl. The little Western lowland gorilla was born in the early hours of Saturday, April 22nd to first-time mum Touni and silverback gorilla dad, Jock. Touni has been at the Zoo since September 2015 after coming from La Vallée des Singes zoo in France, as a breeding partner for Jock. The bright-eyed five week old baby is getting stronger every day and now needs a name. Bristol Zoo’s curator of mammals, Lynsey Bugg, said: “Our little lowland gorilla is doing incredibly well - developing exactly as she should, feeding well and putting on plenty of weight. Now we would like to ask the public to help us choose a name for her.”  The Zoo is asking members of the public to vote on their favourite from a choice of three names, all inspired by the name ‘Daisy’. She added: “We would like to name her in memory of the baby daughter of one of our colleagues who was born four years ago on the same day as the baby gorilla. Daisy was stillborn and we thought this would be a lovely tribute to her.” Keepers have chosen a shortlist of names for the baby gorilla – Fleur, Ayana and Undama. Fleur is French for flower, chosen because Touni is French. Ayana means ‘pretty flower’ in Ethiopian, and Undama means ‘beautiful flower’ in Swahili. Voting will open later today (Tuesday 30 May) on the Bristol Zoo Facebook page. After Daisy was born, her parents, who are both members of staff at Bristol Zoo, received support from SANDS (the stillborn and neonatal death charity). For more information about SANDS, visit www.sands.org.uk/ or phone 0808 164 3331. The new baby takes the number of gorillas living at Bristol Zoo to eight.

Bristol Zoo’s curator of mammals, Lynsey Bugg, said: “Our little lowland gorilla is doing incredibly well - developing exactly as she should, feeding well and putting on plenty of weight. Now we would like to ask the public to help us choose a name for her.”  The Zoo is asking members of the public to vote on their favourite from a choice of three names, all inspired by the name ‘Daisy’. She added: “We would like to name her in memory of the baby daughter of one of our colleagues who was born four years ago on the same day as the baby gorilla. Daisy was stillborn and we thought this would be a lovely tribute to her.” Keepers have chosen a shortlist of names for the baby gorilla – Fleur, Ayana and Undama. Fleur is French for flower, chosen because Touni is French. Ayana means ‘pretty flower’ in Ethiopian, and Undama means ‘beautiful flower’ in Swahili. Voting will open later today (Tuesday 30 May) on the Bristol Zoo Facebook page. After Daisy was born, her parents, who are both members of staff at Bristol Zoo, received support from SANDS (the stillborn and neonatal death charity).

The tiny western lowland gorilla arrived in the early hours of Wednesday, August 19 in the Gorilla House at the zoo. Nine-year-old Kala who came to Bristol from Germany in 2018 gave birth naturally, overnight to the infant with dad, Jock, just a few metres away and the rest of the family troop nearby. Keepers arrived to find the little gorilla nestling in its mother’s arms. Both Kala and her baby were doing very well. The new gorilla joins a troop of six gorillas at the Zoo, which are part of a breeding programme to help safeguard the future of western lowland gorillas.

The little Western lowland gorilla was born in the early hours of Saturday, April 22nd to first-time mum Touni and silverback gorilla dad, Jock. Touni has been at the Zoo since September 2015 after coming from La Vallée des Singes zoo in France, as a breeding partner for Jock. The bright-eyed five week old baby is getting stronger every day and now needs a name.

First-time mother Mjukuu kisses the foot of  her new baby son capturing the unbreakable bond between mother and baby..Keepers at ZSL London Zoo say Mjukuu is proving to be a fantastic mum to her five-week-old baby. The 11-year-old western lowland gorilla gave birth to a healthy boy at the end of October, and keepers watched anxiously to see whether or not she would take to motherhood. They needn't have worried; Mjukuu adores her tiny baby boy, cleaning him, inspecting him and cuddling him all day long.
