(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) –France’s most famous orangutan delighted zoo visitors on Sunday (June 16) as she relished her strawberry cake and exotic fruits in celebration of her 50th birthday.
Nenette is no ordinary orangutan – she is the oldest resident of the zoo at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where the Borneo-born ape arrived as a three-year-old in 1972.
Orangutans are critically endangered in the wild, with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature estimating that there are only 100,000 remaining on the planet.
