Afia is becoming more mobile and is getting to the stage where she is "into everything", the zoo said
A baby gorilla born in a C-section operation at Bristol Zoo is now 20 weeks old and according to her keepers can be "very stroppy".
The Western Lowland gorilla was born early in February after her mother showed signs of the potentially dangerous condition pre-eclampsia.
She was named Afia and has just cut her eighth tooth, with her favourite foods being avocado and steamed sweet potato.
Her keepers say she is "extremely determined with a strong personality".

Keepers have put up more ropes to "chivvy Afia to climb" and encourage her to be more confident

The baby gorilla loves investigating "anything she can get her hands on"

She continues to spend time clinging to her keepers' backs and is not yet on show to the public

She loves to be tickled and is beginning to learn to feed herself

She loves banging things - especially things that make lots of noise
