FEATURE - Sicher in den Armen seiner Mutter: Dieser acht Tage alte Baby-Gorilla ist einer von nur noch 400 in freier Wildbahn in Uganda
Safe in its mother's arms, this eight day old baby gorilla is one of only 400 left in the wild in Uganda. See National story NNgorilla; The heartwarming pictures were taken in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by British wildlife photographer Vince Burton. The 330 square kilometre park and is home to the gorillas who feed on roots, leaves and fruits found on the park's trees and ferns. The gorillas live in the park at elevations between 1,500 and 2,300 metres in the forest. Vince, 46 from North Tuddenham in Norfolk, said: "This was an amazing experience and one that I shall remember for a long time. "They are so similar to us, sharing 98% of our DNA, but at the same time so gentle. They seem to share all of man's good qualities and none of our bad ones." The rest of the world's wild gorilla population are known as the Virunga population and are found in Virunga National Park, DRC, and the Volcanoes National Park, northern Rwanda, while a few use the Mgahinga National Park in southwestern Uganda. In total there are just over 1,000 gorillas still living in the wild. / action press *** Local Caption *** 29994712

Süsser Fratz: Adoptiv-Gorilla Gandai geht es gut mit seiner neuen Mama im im Zoo von Jacksonville / 040319 *** A member of the zoo staff introduce Gandai to a male gorilla .Gandai the baby gorilla is being raised by adoptive mother Bulera, after her biological mother Kumbuka seemed unwilling to care for the infant.Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, Florida..A baby gorilla was spotted being a really cheeky monkey at a zoo - by sticking her tongue out at the camera.The five-month-old, named Gandai, was seen playing with the camera at the US zoo where she happily smiled for photographs - before pulling the silly pose.The adorable western lowland gorilla was introduced to her surrogate mother Bulera at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in Florida, where she was videoed taking her first steps towards her.Here surrogacy was "Plan B" for the gorilla care team - who had hoped Gandai's biological mother Kumbuka would be willing to care for the infant.But Kumbuka rejected Gandai who was then immediately paired with 30-year-old surrogate Bulera.The pairing was a great success and the two gorillas are bonding well.A zookeeper spokesperson said: "Bulera showed strong interest in Gandai from the beginning - even better, Gandai is smitten with her adoptive mother."Immediately the keepers could tell this was a better fit - she was holding the baby within minutes and comforting her with soft vocal rumbles. "She carried her around the enclosure, cuddled with her, brought her into her nest to sleep and responded quickly to any cries."Last Tuesday, Gandai was placed on a soft pile of hay in a large family room of the gorilla building and introduced to Kumbuka.Keepers were cautiously optimistic when the biological mum eventually approached the little one and showed some interest - holding the baby for a few minutes.But the following morning, Kumbuka's curiosity turned to frustration and keepers gave her the opportunity to leave Gandai's room - which she took without *** Local Caption *** 295295

Gorillas, giraffes and squirrel monkeys enjoy Halloween treats at ZSL London Zoo, Regents Park, London. Breakfast time got a macabre makeover this Halloween at ZSL London Zoo as zookeepers treat the animals to some fiendishly fun activities. While children all over the country prepare for the spookiest night of the year, the Zoos Western-lowland gorillas will wake up to a giant pumpkin patch to explore in their Gorilla Kingdom home. Also getting into the Halloween spirit, the Zoos mischievous mob of Bolivian black-capped squirrel monkeys will face a fiendish row of suspended baby pumpkins, while giraffes Ellish, Maggie and Mollie will find juicy leaves inside their own carved creation.

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.
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.
