Eight gorilllas will be set up in ‘central African forests area’ on city edge as part of zoo’s transfer
Almost a century after Bristol zoo’s first gorilla – a young male named Alfred – arrived to huge excitement, his successors are to move to a new woodland home on the edge of the city.
As part of the zoo’s transfer from its long-term home in Clifton, the eight-strong gorilla troop will be set up in a “central African forests area”, living alongside a group of endangered cherry-crowned mangabey monkeys and African grey parrots.
