Help us wish a very happy 22nd birthday to western lowland gorilla, ‘Kioja’! Kioja is known as the calming presence within the troop but she’s also a bit of a social butterfly.

As an added bonus, they were served as a frozen treat.
Leave your birthday wishes in the comments or stop by the Rainforest Building today and wish Kioja a happy birthday in person!
