MEET AFIA, BRISTOL Zoo’s seven-week-old baby gorilla.
She was delivered last month by caesarean section, weighing just over a kilo, and has been getting round-the-clock care since then.
Staff at the zoo say Afia, whose name was chosen in a public vote, is developing well and gaining strength while being closely monitored by a small team of gorilla keepers.
And she was finally introduced to the world yesterday as she made her first trip outdoors in a sling worn by her keeper, Lynsey Bugg.
Look at her blinking here, all snuggled up, in front of the cameras:
Afia’s mother, Kera, is recovering from a critical illness and the zoo said it was not yet clear if she would accept the baby.
“Our other female gorilla, Romina, is showing strong maternal signs towards her,” it said.
“Keepers are now exploring the possibility of Romina fostering the infant in the future.”

They are already talking about using this technology to cure phobias like speaking in public and other more general forms of social anxiety. The possibilities with this technology are immense and positively exciting.
More likely people will use them to escape social situations as we veer further towards a fully virtual society.
Porn, it’s going to be used for porn. Same as the Internet.
FFS get a grip,that was pure shite!
Jasus The Journal has gone downhill if this is considered newsworthy
They’ve always peddled fluff alongside the more pressing issues. Room for them both
Every weekday at 11am we have Take a Break, it’s generally a lighter video like this. We have about 60+ articles a day, so there’s plenty to read that isn’t like this.
Great, now look what you’ve done Cosmo. Hope you’re happy.
Pass no heed aoife you’re doing a sterling job. Snapchat hun?
Yes but not every video with an “Irish Mammy” is funny
I like the Journals work @Aoife. Never mind the bugrudgers! I think it’s a great video. .. shows how accessible it is. The Irish mammy dropping f-bombs is classic!!
Nothing to do with begrudging, it’s just my opinion and many others that it is cringeworthy and not remotely funny. Journal can do much better than this
Yawn
Was expecting more ‘
FFS Filming in portrait !
You’d think they’d make the cameras not record video in portrait by this stage…
Or you would think people would know to record with their phone sideways by now.
Was only a matter of time before these videos arrived.
I wonder what she was watching
It’s the jurassic Park clip. A sleeping bronctosauaus wakes up and comes over to you. It’s really cool
Why is the footage warping at sections around the womans body?
Illuminati and or NWO, with a possibility of lizard people shapeshifting
That’s nearly two minutes of my life wasted. On the plus side, at least she didn’t pepper the entire video with multiple effing and blinding which, unfortunately, one has come to expect from such Irish-made videos. But for gawd’s sake, why can’t the makers of them use landscape mode?
That looked like me coming home from the pub last night.
Have a look at that wine rack in the background, packed!! Bit early in the day to be drinking!
Are those the 30€ dunnes headsets?
Gear VR
That kitchen looks a bit dated!
Billy big balls cause he has an island in his
I think this is an advert…
This pornos great…
