A baby gorilla who was rejected by his mother is now being bottle-fed and looked after by keepers at Bristol Zoo Gardens.

The gorilla was not getting enough milk from Kala so a small team of keepers is now caring for him and bottle feeding him day and night. During the day, the baby gorilla is being looked after in the Gorilla House to allow plenty of opportunities for Kala and the other gorillas to see him, smell him and be near him, and ensure that he continues to be accepted as a familiar member of the gorilla family.At night the infant is being cared for by keepers in Zoo-owned accommodation onsite.
