Meisie, who was born in 2010, is part of a global conservation scheme with sibling Moanda, in Mysuru.

The 22-year-old western lowland gorilla died on Thursday at Paignton Zoo.

Our weekly round-up includes street performers, international rappers, a memorial event and more.

A diseased weeping willow could have made a bridge to freedom for the gorillas if it fell.

Footage was posted on social media of gorillas in an enclosure, which questioned their conditions.

It has been designed to evoke a sense of the dense forest and landscape of the species' natural habitat.

The new house is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025.

The zoo says Kishka will be hugely missed by staff, visitors and volunteers.
