How gorillas at Bristol Zoo have reacted to their new habitat
The gorillas at Bristol Zoo have settled into their new environment at African Forest, Bristol Zoo Project, which will open to the public on April 1.
Visitors at Bristol Zoo Project will soon be able to step beneath the tree canopy and be transported to the forests of central Africa, home to the zoo’s gorillas, mangabeys, crocodiles and tropical parrots, once the new interactive habitat, African Forest, officially opens its doors to the public.
Ahead of the opening, the animals at the new habitat have slowly been introduced to bigger groups, including a group of around 2000 Bristol Zoo members on Sunday (March 29).
Check out the video above where Bristol Zoo Project's Curator of Mammals, Sarah Gedman tells us more about the new gorilla habitat and how the gorillas have been adapting.
