The worlds oldest gorillais celebrating her birthday!

世界上最短命的大猩猩正在慶賀她的華誕!

The fabulous Fatou, a Western lowland gorilla, partied it up on Wednesday for her 65th birthday by chowing down on a custom cake made out of vegetables and rice, according to Fatous home, the Berlin Zoo.

周三，德國柏林動物園里的一只名為Fatou的西非低地大猩猩慶賀了本人65歲的華誕，她大口吃著一塊用蔬菜和大米制成的定制蛋糕。

The German zoo shared a clip of Fatou gleefully munching on her personalized cake, which came with a peach slice and blueberry border and the numbers 6 and 5 written in raspberries and blueberries.

這家德國動物園分享了一段Fatou高興地咀嚼著個性化蛋糕的剪輯視頻，蛋糕上用桃子片和藍(lán)莓做邊框，并用覆盆子和藍(lán)莓拼寫了數(shù)字6和5。

The gorillas birthday meal "is always something very special" for her, the zoo shared in German in its social media posts showcasing Fatou enjoying her cake.

動物園在社交媒體帖子中用德語寫道，這只大猩猩的華誕大餐對她來說“總是十分特別的”，并展現(xiàn)了Fatou正在享用她的蛋糕的片段。

"For her exceptionally old age, Fatou is a very vigorous old lady with a healthy appetite," said district manager Christian Aust, per the Berlin Zoo. "We are happy every day that she is with us and hope to be able to celebrate a few more birthdays with her."

柏林動物園的地域經(jīng)理克里斯蒂安·奧斯特說：“Fatou固然年歲特別大，但她是一位精神旺盛、胃口安康的老太太?！薄八臀覀冊谝煌拿恳惶煳覀兌己芸鞓罚Ｍ芎退煌瑧c賀更多的華誕?！?/span>

Fatous enjoyed more birthday celebrations, according to the zoos playful statement. "Instead of fat beats in a club," the park said, "there is a cozy coffee party in the gorilla familys front yard — more befitting of an elderly lady."

動物園俏皮地稱，為Fatou準(zhǔn)備的華誕慶賀活動不止于此。動物園說：“在大猩猩家族的前院里有一個溫馨的咖啡聚會，比起在俱樂部里大吃大喝，這更合適這位年長的女士?！?/span>

Aust told BBC News, "gorillas in the wild have a life expectancy of about 40 years," making this 65-year-old monkey "the worlds oldest living gorilla for a while."

奧斯特通知BBC新聞：“野生大猩猩的預(yù)期壽命約為40歲，這使得這只65歲的猴子‘暫時成為世界上現(xiàn)存最短命的大猩猩’”。

Western lowland gorillas are considered a "critically endangered" species, with numbers dipping due to disease, poaching, and habitat destruction, per BBC News.

據(jù)BBC新聞報道，由于疾病、偷獵和棲息地毀壞，西部低地大猩猩數(shù)量在降落，被認(rèn)定為“極度瀕?！蔽锓N。

"Fewer and fewer animals live in the tropical rainforests of Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo," the Berlin Zoo said, according to the outlet.

據(jù)報道，柏林動物園表示：“在喀麥隆、中非共和國、加蓬和剛果共和國的熱帶雨林中生活的動物越來越少了。”
