Tooth ape..330 pound gorilla faces the dreaded vist from the dentist.
Nobody enjoys a visit to the dentist and Alf the gorilla was no exception.
His keepers at Longleat Safari Park, Wilts, recently noticed some swelling to Alf's lower jaw and decided to get him looked at.
Luckily for the large ape he didn't know too much about it as he was anaesthetised throughout the check up, that involved a team of four vets and five keepers from the Wiltshire Safari park.
They took no chances in upsetting the critically endangered primate and put him under for the entire procedure.
