Imagine bonding with Gorillas and getting to care for them every day of your working life.

Well stop dreaming and do what Gareth Davies did and realise a childhood ambition to be an Animal Keeper. He recently took a trip to Frankfurt Zoo in Germany to get further insight and learning around their mixed-species habitat.

Critically endangered western lowland gorillas and endangered cherry-crowned mangabeys live together and it's helped to shape the African Forest habitat project in Bristol.

Gareth is a key part of that and his stories about the connection to their animals and the care and nurturing he is vital to is amazing.
