PHOTOS: Bristol Zoo gorilla celebrates first birthday
GIFTS and a cake were the order of the day at Bristol Zoo Gardens yesterday as the youngest member of the gorilla family celebrated his first birthday.
Standing just 45cm tall and weighing around 7kg (15lbs), little Kukena is still tiny but nevertheless inquisitive and adventurous and has developed well over the past year.

"Kukena has come a long way over the past 12 months, he is becoming a proper little adventurer and loves to sneak off to explore," said Lynsey Bug, assistant curator of mammals.
Mum, Salome is keeping a close eye on him as he is still a bit too young to play with the other young gorillas.
