Kera is a western lowland gorilla and the mother of Afia, born at Bristol Zoo. Following an emergency C-section, Kera faced challenges in forming a maternal bond with her newborn, leading to the decision for zookeeper Alan Toyne to hand-rear Afia in an effort to provide her with the necessary skills for social integration.
