Baby Western Lowland Gorilla Louna celebrated his 1st birthday at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent  with a specially-made organic cake.
 

It was a double celebration for Louna, his family and the park as the baby gorilla was only recently re-introduced to his family after spending time in intensive care with severe gastroenteritis.

Although vital for his recovery, Louna's 8-day removal from the social group meant that he risked rejection on his return.
