Alan Toyne was part of the first team in the UK to hand-rear baby gorillas at Bristol Zoo .

Toyne looked after both Afia and Hasani , who was rejected by his mother after she stopped feeding him four weeks in, for around 7 months each.

The zookeeper recently wrote a memoir illustrating his unique journey with the fascinating primates in his audiobook, Gorillas in Our Midst.
