Mysore/Mysuru: We all get to celebrate our birthdays and our family and friends ensure that it is a special occasion. The same filial bonding was there for everyone to see when Demba, a gorilla at the Mysuru Zoo, celebrated his ninth birthday on Jan. 15. It was his first birthday celebration in Mysuru -- in fact, India.
In keeping with the tradition, the Zoo management had arranged a fruity treat for the primate to make it special for the birthday boy where his favourite fruits and vegetables like carrot, watermelon, radish, beetroot and cucumber were arranged inside the open area in his enclosure to write ‘Happy Birthday Demba’.
