Emotional Last Look At Afia At Bristol Zoo Before Her Move by SloggerVlogger *Final emotional visit to Afia at Bristol Zoo before her move to Jersey Zoo. Troop moments, lunch chaos and a quiet goodbye.* Emotional Last Look At Afia At Bristol Zoo Before Her New Home captures my final visit during a very mixed day of emotion and chaos at Bristol Zoo. Back at Bristol Zoo Project this week, it was lunch time and Hasani was running as quick as he could. Afia was still up in the tree, but not for long. Touni was coming down too. Ayanna was together with her brother Juni. Afia was beating her chest at Ayanna, a strong moment within the troop dynamic during the visit. It was a bit of a sad visit, as this was my last time seeing Afia before she is moved next month (June 2026) to Jersey Zoo in the UK. Like many, I would have always loved seeing her with Lope. I do hope she settles well in her new home and that the troop treat her kindly in the next chapter of her life. Lunch time also turned into chaos. Watch for the flying veg. Juni gets hit on the leg by a broccoli, and Hasani even does a roll to avoid the flying vegetables. It’s moments like this that show how unpredictable life in the troop can be, even during something as simple as feeding time. Hasani’s energy, Afia’s final presence in the troop, and the mix of behaviour throughout the group made this a visit I won’t forget. #BristolZoo #AfiaFarewell #AnimalBehaviour ℹ️I don’t do a lot of reading, but I found this particular story very ape-aling😊😄. The book I really enjoyed was “Gorillas in Our Midst: A Zookeeper’s Tale of Hand-Rearing Baby Gorillas”. It covers Hasani and Afia’s hand-rearing journey. The keepers nicknamed Hasani “Wriggles McCraw”. Having filmed Hasani and Afia for such a long time, the book really hit home. A good read, sad in places, but very honest.
