Happy World Gorilla Day 🦍 Our gorillas will be moving over to their new habitat at Bristol Zoo Project once it's completed. Construction starts next year! To receive updates about the gorillas and our future plans, you can pledge to 'Grow With Us': bristolzoo.org.uk/support-us/gro…









THE “world’s loneliest” gorillas have been discovered inside an abandoned UK zoo that shut down more than three years ago. Urban explorers found the apes stuck behind glass in their enclosure at Bristol Zoo – which closed to the public in September 2022. Heartbreaking footage shows one of the gorillas tapping against the window as it desperately tries to get the visitor’s attention. The abandoned enclosure, which houses eight gorillas, is overrun with plants and surrounded by empty visitor buildings. In the shocking clip, the camera pans to a number of the great apes as they gaze longingly out of the windows.
