Keepers at Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks in Kent provided gorillas with an unusual addition to their diet last week when they added pretty bouquets of edible flowers to their enclosures.

The gorillas were given bunches of edible violas with the aim of providing additional sensory stimulation as the flowers taste, smell and look different to their usual diet.
