    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.

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.

    Baby echidna, nicknamed 'Bonsai' due to its small size, being cared for by Taronga Wildlife Hospital supervisor, Annabelle Sehlmeier, who has taken on the role of surrogate mum
    Baby echidna recovers from chicken attack, Taronga Zoo, Sydney, Australia - 28 Apr 2016
    A baby echidna is making a remarkable recovery at Taronga Zoo, after being attacked by chickens in a family?s backyard. Taronga Wildlife Hospital supervisor, Annabelle Sehlmeier, has taken on the role of surrogate mum to the echidna puggle, providing round-the-clock care and feeding it a special milk mixture from the palm of her hand. The puggle was brought to Taronga earlier this month with scratches over its belly and hind legs, after being rescued from a group of chickens in a backyard near Newcastle. It was also dehydrated and unusually small for its four months of age. ?We?re not sure if the baby was alone because its mother died or because it was accidentally dug out of its nursery burrow,? said Annabelle. The puggle ? which is still too young for vets to determine its gender ? received emergency first aid and has since made a terrific turnaround in Annabelle?s care. Nicknamed ?Bonsai? due to its small size, the echidna has grown from 400 grams to 530 grams in two weeks.

    The Little Girl With Three Mums
    Meet the little girl with three mums.

    Katy Slade's dream of becoming a mum was made a reality after her sister offered her eggs and her sister-in-law her womb.

    Katy and her husband David, from Romford in Essex, were desperate to have a baby but feared their dreams were doomed.

    Due to a rare genetic condition Katy, 32, never developed proper reproductive organs and was unable to have children of her own.

    Today, however, she and David are proud parents to one-year-old Beatrix after their sisters stepped in to help them in the most amazing way.

    Katy's younger sister Lucy Marks, 27, acted as an egg donor while David's older sister Jamie Allan, 36, was their surrogate and carried Beatrix for nine months.

    It was when they were still young that Lucy first promised her sister that she would help when it came time for Katy to have children.

    And years later her desire to help hadn't changed.

    However, Lucy, who had a boyfriend and no children of her own, ruled out carrying the baby because she was worried she would become too attached.

    It was then that David's sister Jamie, who already had three children with her husband Wayne, stepped forward.

    Over the next few months David's sperm was frozen, while his sister and sister-in-law were given hormone injections - to build the lining of Jamie's womb and help Katy produce more eggs to be harvested.

    Two embryos were implanted in Jamie in December 2011, she discovered she was pregnant on Christmas Eve and Beatrix was born in September last year.

    Katy and her husband David, from Romford in Essex, were desperate to have a baby but feared their dreams were doomed.

    Due to a rare genetic condition Katy, 32, never developed proper reproductive organs and was unable to have children of her own.

    Today, however, she and David are proud parents to one-year-old Beatrix after their sisters stepped in to help them in the most amazing way.

    Katy's younger sister Lucy Marks, 27, acted as an egg donor while David's older sister Jamie Allan, 36, was their surrogate and carried Beatrix for nine months.

    It was when they were still young that Lucy first promised her sister that she would help when it came time for Katy to have children.

    And years later her desire to help hadn't changed.

    However, Lucy, who had a boyfriend and no children of her own, ruled out carrying the baby because she was worried she would become too attached.

    It was then that David's sister Jamie, who already had three children with her husband Wayne, stepped forward.

    Over the next few months David's sperm was frozen, while his sister and sister-in-law were given hormone injections - to build the lining of Jamie's womb and help Katy produce more eggs to be harvested.

    Two embryos were implanted in Jamie in December 2011, she discovered she was pregnant on Christmas Eve and Beatrix was born in September last year.
