Playful gorillas are having great fun with their new toy - a bubble machine.
The play-thing has been entertaining young western lowland gorillas at Howletts Wild Animal Park, near Canterbury in Kent.
The bubble machine was donated by a supporter of the park after keepers drew up a wish-list of useful items that would help enrich the animals' lives.
Animal director Neil Spooner said: "Enrichment is a vital part of how we care for our animals here and we are always looking for new and exciting themes.
"Enrichment is just one of the many ways we keep our animals active and
healthy."
Lorna Wanless, head of the gorilla section at Howletts, said: "Jouki and
Nkoumou love trying to catch them and Nkoumou even managed to pop one."
