Orphaned baby gorilla Afia thriving at Bristol Zoo, UK - 20 Dec 2016
Keepers at Bristol Zoo have announced that their 'little miracle' Afia, the young Western lowland gorilla who has been hand-reared since birth, is now fully integrated with the gorilla troop. It's 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. 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.
