Denver Zoo in Colorado threw a special birthday party this week for eight-year-old orangutan Hesty.
Posting the video on Facebook, Denver Zoo said: “Her keepers celebrated with decorations and extra treats!”
The cute video of Hesty celebrating her birthday in her enclosure now has over 11,000 views.

“We put party cups out with sugar free drinks, which Nias (mom) sampled as she gathered her diet during the party… She also received some new plastic sand toys, buckets and rakes.”
Orangutans have a lifespan of around 35 to 45 years, meaning Hesty will have plenty more birthday celebrations to come.
