Can you help? Giggling gorilla needs a name
An adorable baby gorilla born by emergency Caesarean section is doing "really well" and has even giggled for the first time, her keepers have said.
The six-week-old Western lowland gorilla has almost doubled her birth weight - weighing in at 2.2kg - has started teething.
She was born after an emergency caesarean procedure – a rare occurrence in gorillas and only carried out a handful of times in the world.
She is now being hand-reared round the clock by a small team of experienced keepers at Bristol Zoo as her mother is too ill to look after her.
Now keepers at the zoo need your help to pick a name, they've narrowed the choice down to three and want to know which one you like best.
Maiombe - a geographical region in Africa covering gorillas’ native countries.
Afia - meaning ‘Friday born child’ in Ghanian.
Pianga - Pianga from Pianga-Makeshi, a place in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Gorillas develop in similar ways to human babies, but generally reach milestones at a much earlier age.
At four-weeks-old she started teething, at five-weeks-old she started trying to roll over, and she has become increasingly vocal - including giggling for the first time.
She spends all day inside the gorilla house, to get used to the sounds, smells and sights of the other gorillas, and to ensure she does not become too accustomed to humans.
The baby is having to be hand-reared as her mother, Kera, was diagnosed with life-threatening pre-eclampsia prior to birth and has been too unwell to care for the baby since the caesarean.
