Monkey On Your Back

Zoo keeper Emily Pugh welcomes Bristol Zoo’s latest arrival, a young orphan gorilla on September 19 2008 in Bristol, England. The youngster, called Kera, has moved to Bristol Zoo from a specialist ape nursery in Germany where she had been hand-reared while living alongside other young gorillas. At four-years-old Kera was old enough to leave the nursery and a new home needed to be found for her. Bristol Zoo Gardens was chosen as the best place for her because it has the facilities for an expanding group of gorillas.
