There was a cake and the celebrant received gifts, as did the ducal.
Mei Xiang, a giant panda living at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., celebrated her 25th birthday with cake and other treats.
The cake was made from frozen apple juice, apples, sweet potato puree and carrots, he shared on the zoo's Twitter page, to which a video was also attached, where the panda is happily munching on the delicious morsels.
At 9 a.m. on Saturday, the zoo's caretakers handed over the panda-friendly delicacy to the celebrant, which visitors to the zoo could follow in person or online via the zoo's giant panda camera.
