Tian Tian, papa panda, got his treat on Saturday.
It was the 25th birthday for Tian Tian, and little time was lost Saturday morning in marking the event, with a panda breakfast that featured a panda-appropriate cake.
But from the outward signs Tian Tian appreciated the zoo’s thoughtfulness. Footage of the event showed that the creature’s quarters harbored a specially concocted cake, a leafy confection of staples and delicacies apparently designed to appeal to an older panda.Fron the video it appeared that the vertically-structured birthday treat was toppled almost as soon as it was spotted.
Animals may have few methods of expressing enthusiasm, but Tian Tian did seem to demonstrate energy in consuming the cake components. Tian Tian has devoted the best years of his life to both helping his species survive, and to entertaining not only visitors to the zoo but also followers on video feeds from the zoo.It may be, then, that his workmanlike confrontation with the cake represented in part his conviction that his efforts did deserve occasional recognition in the form of something out of the ordinary.
