About

Gorilla Island is home to six western lowland gorillas: Salome, Romina, Jock, Namoki, Kera and Komale. Their diet is varied and mimics that of gorillas in the wild – 80% vegetables and 20% fruit – with tree branches included on a daily basis. Also, they love a spot of herbal tea and fruit cordial every day.

At Bristol Zoo Gardens, they support conservation work to protect gorillas in the wild in Cameroon. The zoo provides vital funds for Ape Action Africa (formerly CWAF) to help support a rescue centre and provide education on important conservation issues. They hope to raise more money for the project by increasing awareness of its work among the many visitors who go to see their gorillas.

Thanks for getting the picture back - like the new view - not sure if anyone actually answers queries on this site but I would be interested to know how Kiera is - we used to see her out on her own but haven't for some time - is she OK? Grateful for a reply.
