A baby gorilla is “doing really well” after being born at Bristol Zoo Gardens shortly before Christmas.
The tiny western lowland gorilla was pictured on Wednesday being carried around the zoo’s Gorilla Island by mother Touni, 13.
Touni gave birth naturally overnight to the infant, whose sex is not yet known, in the early hours of December 22 with father Jock and the rest of the family troop nearby.
It is Touni’s second baby, as she gave birth to Ayana – who still lives at the zoo – in April 2017.
Lynsey Bugg, curator of mammals at Bristol Zoo, said: “We had a very early Christmas present, a brand new baby to our lovely family group of gorillas, which really just brings a lovely end to the year for us.
