About The Zoo
This documentary series brings viewers into the London Zoo, the world's oldest, to get a look at the variety of daily life for the zoo's staff and animals. The programme documents life at the zoo's main facility in Regent's Park as well as its `country home' at Whipsnade, a more spacious site where larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. Episodes include profiles of zoo workers, including a gorilla keeper who gave up a well-paying job to fulfil his lifelong ambition of working with gorillas. … MORE

Belfast Zoo: UK's oldest gorilla, Delilah, celebrates 60th birthday
The UK's oldest gorilla has celebrated her 60th birthday at Belfast Zoo .
Delilah was part of The First gorilla troop at The Zoo when it arrived in The City in 1992.
For More Than 30 years, she has been delighting visitors at Belfast Zoo , and even became a small-screen star in the 1970s as part of The Bbc 's Animal Magic with Johnny Morris .
Zoo Keeper Simon Beasley said the western lowland gorilla still has a lot of character despite her age.
" Delilah is A Dream animal to work with and will engage with The Keepers and enjoys when you talk to her during her breakfast in The Morning , " He Said .
As Europe's second oldest ape, she enjoys additional support from her keepers, like Demi Cummings.
" Delilah receives a special diet of root vegetables and a milky drink with added supplements to ease her aches and pains, " She Said .
" She has also lost some of her teeth and, therefore, receives extra food which has been carefully steamed. "
Delilah lives among the rest of The Troop , including Gugas, Kwanza, Kamili, Namoki, Baako, Olivia and Kofi.
Ms Cummings described her as the " loving grandparent figure" in The Group .
" She is often seen engaging and playing with the youngest gorilla, two-year-old Kofi, " She Said .
" These animals are incredibly social, and every member of The Troop plays an important role in The Family dynamic. "
'Fit and healthy'Western lowland gorillas are a highly Endangered Species of great ape, found in West Africa 's rainforests.
Recent figures show fewer than 200,000 gorillas remain in The Wild .
Manager of Belfast Zoo , Alyn Cairns, said the care provided by The Zoo keepers has allowed Delilah to keep " fit and healthy" at her age.
" Western lowland gorillas are in serious decline due to destruction of their habitats, poaching and disease, " He Said .
" Belfast Zoo is part of a collaborative breeding programme, and we play an important role in gorilla conservation. "
