LOOK who is king of the jungle now!

Just three weeks ago Djalta the gorilla was living behind bars at Howletts wild animal park at Bekesbourne.

Now in a pioneering project and world-first for conservation he is one of seven gorillas born at the park and rejected by their mothers to be living in the Gabonese forest in Africa.

The park and its sister park Port Lympne, near Hythe, are leading the way in returning animals to the wild.

It was the late John Aspinall's dream that animals raised at his parks would end up back in the wild, living freely in their native country.
