Growing gorilla family upgraded to €1.2m home

A family of gorillas have been upgraded to a £1m (€1.2m) home in order to cope with their growing brood.

Their new enclosure at Bristol Zoo Gardens — which is being completed in three phases — will boast climbing facilities, ropes, play equipment and an indoor pool.

Renovation work began in July last year and the first phase has just been completed, meaning the zoo’s seven western lowland gorillas can move in.
