Western Lowland Gorilla, Bristol Zoo

I managed to visit Bristol Zoo for the second time this year and I got some decent shots of the Western Lowland Gorillas.

The new Gorilla House is really impressive and well worth a look if you haven't seen it already.

This one was apparently called Salome. When when she first arrived at the Zoo she weighed 154kg but now, although she still needs to work out a bit, she’s down to 125kg. Salome has a lovely nature, but is very strong-minded and incredibly intelligent. You will often see her sitting on her own, planning her next move – which is generally how to get the next piece of food.
