Description:
Step into the fascinating world of Bristol Zoo with Alan Toyne, a dedicated zookeeper and primate expert whose extraordinary story of hand-rearing two baby gorillas will warm your heart

When Afia, a newborn Western Lowland Gorilla, is rejected by her mother Kera after a difficult birth, her human keepers must start the challenging - but rewarding - experience of hand-rearing her themselves. Teaching her the ropes of life in the Gorilla House at Bristol Zoo is tricky enough. But providing 24/7 care for a baby gorilla means Alan must hand-rear Afia in his own home too, an experience that forges a remarkable emotional bond between the two of them over the course of many sleepless nights.

Soon a second baby gorilla, Hasani, is facing rejection from his mother, and Alan and his colleagues must embark on a daring mission to train Kera - now recovered but socially isolated - to become Hasani's surrogate mother. Can she learn to protect and love Hasani as her own, in a way she couldn't for Afia? Can she find her maternal instincts and claim a place within the troop at last?

With a vibrant cast of characters - from the volatile Silverback Jock to the mysterious Sal and the stately Romi - Gorillas in Our Midst offers a unique glimpse into the intricate world of primate social dynamics, in all their complicated, human-like glory. More than just a behind-the-scenes look at zoo life, this thought-provoking and heart-warming memoir is a testament to the enduring bonds between humans and animals, and to the power of resilience and compassion.

Soft, Hydrating, and Long-Lasting Moisture – Great Everyday Body Wash
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this Dove Body Wash Deep Moisture. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated, almost like I used lotion right after showering. The “24hr moisture” claim actually feels pretty accurate because my skin doesn’t dry out like it does with other body washes. It lathers nicely, smells clean and not too strong, and I also like that it’s made with no sulfates or parabens. The bottle is a good size (30.6 oz) so it lasts a while too. Overall, it’s a really solid everyday body wash and one of the best I’ve used for keeping my skin smooth and moisturized.

The body wash I reach for every time and my skin has never felt better
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been through a lot of body washes over the years and this Dove Deep Moisture is the one I keep coming back to. The texture is thick and creamy, a little goes a long way, and it rinses clean without leaving any heavy residue behind. After getting out of the shower my skin genuinely feels softer and not dry or tight the way it does with some other washes. The scent is pleasant and mild, something like a clean, soft powder rather than an artificial floral or chemical smell. It does not linger too long which I actually prefer since heavy fragrances can be irritating. The formula with no sulfates and no parabens makes it a gentler option and I have noticed fewer issues with dry patches since switching to it. The 30.6 oz size is great for the price and lasts a good while even with daily use. This is just a reliable, high quality everyday body wash that does exactly what it promises. Simple and effective.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin – Gentle, Moisturizing and Long-Lasting
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If I could give it 10 stars, I would! This Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is absolutely amazing and hands down my favorite Dove body wash so far. The size is large, so it lasts a long time and offers excellent value for the price, especially considering the quality. The texture is thick and creamy, not watery at all. It spreads very well on the skin and a little goes a long way. The scent is very pleasant, soft, and not overpowering—it actually reminds me of baby powder, which I personally love. It feels clean and comforting, not artificial or strong. While showering, it feels gentle and luxurious, and after rinsing, my skin feels soft, smooth, and well-hydrated, never dry or tight. This is especially important for me because I have sensitive skin, and this body wash has been perfect. Dove is an excellent brand, and I’ve tried several of their body washes over the years. This one was also recommended to me by both a dermatologist and a gynecologist, which gave me even more confidence in using it regularly. Overall, this is an outstanding product. I highly recommend it, especially for anyone with sensitive skin. If you’re looking for a moisturizing, gentle, and high-quality body wash, this one is a must-try. 💙 Super recommended!

Great moisturizing body wash, but the scent takes some getting used to
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using Dove products for years and this body wash does not disappoint when it comes to moisturizing. My skin feels genuinely soft and hydrated after every shower without that tight, dry feeling I get with other cleansers. The no sulfates and no parabens formula is a big plus for me as I've been trying to be more conscious about what goes on my skin. At 30.6 oz it's also a great size that lasts a good while. My only real note is that the scent is a bit different than what I expected — it's not unpleasant but there's a slightly unusual undertone that I couldn't quite put my finger on at first. It took me maybe a week or so of using it before I stopped noticing it. If you're sensitive to scents it might throw you off initially, but it does fade quickly once you're out of the shower. Overall a solid body wash that delivers on the moisture promise — just go in knowing the scent might need a little adjustment period.
