As she feeds her hungry baby, Salome the western lowland gorilla is a picture of proud independence.

But without a little help from her human friends, she wouldn't have given birth at all.

She is the first gorilla in the world to benefit from a fertility treatment normally used by women.

Keepers at Bristol Zoo Gardens realised that because 30-year-old Salome was not becoming pregnant by her partner Jock despite regular mating, she must not be ovulating.
