Summary
Fatou, the world's oldest gorilla in captivity, is celebrating her 68th birthday at the Berlin zoo. Presented with a special basket of soft fruit and vegetables, she enjoys her day in peace, away from the other younger gorillas. Born in 1957, Fatou has lived at the zoo since 1959 and became its oldest resident after the death of a 75-year-old flamingo last year. Zoo staff ensure she receives the best care suited to her needs, as gorillas typically have a lifespan of 35-40 years in the wild but can live longer in captivity.
