Rejected baby gorilla Tia is being raised by zookeepers

Baby gorilla Tia is being lovingly reared by zookeepers after her mother rejected her.



The six-week-old is now getting the care she needs after being fed powdered milk - and wears nappies.



Phil Ridges, of the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Hythe, Kent, said: "She was dehydrated and craved some love. We've spent 24 hours a day with her and she's putting on weight."
