Another wild birthday

Devon zoo staff helped a gorilla celebrate his fifth birthday with a homemade cake with carrots for candles.

Kivu, a Western gorilla, tucked into the cake with half-brother Kiondo.

The mixed fruit and nut cake was topped off with berries and seeds and five carrot candles. It was made by Paignton Zoo volunteer Linda Putt. [source]

Sure, this year a nut cake, next year a pony, and before you know it you're renting out Buckingham Palace for a nine year old's theme party. It's all a slippery slope from here.
