An infant gorilla that has been hand-reared at Bristol Zoo Gardens now has a surrogate mum.
Western lowland gorilla Hasani, who was born in August last year, was cared for by keepers after his birth-mother, Kala, struggled to look after him.
It meant a six-strong team taking it in turns to be with him around the clock for seven months during which he needed feeding up to eight times a day.
Two months ago keepers re-introduced him to his mother hoping that she would be able to care for him.
Lynsey Bugg, Curator of Mammals at Bristol Zoo Gardens, said: “We really wanted to get them back together and give Kala another chance to look after him. Once Hasani was sufficiently mobile and physically ready for it, we felt the time was right to try them together again.
