The oldest living gorilla in captivity, Colo (from Columbus, Ohio), celebrated her 53rd birthday with what looks like a giant, great ape-size cake (see video, click image or here). Interestingly, Colo is also the first gorilla every born in captivity. A Western Gorilla, her species is Critically Endangered. Colo is quite the matriarch, with one (of three) children and 16 (of 22) Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, and Great-Great Grandchildren still living.
The previous holder of the the oldest living gorilla title was held by Jenny (55 years old) who died in September 2008 due to an inoperable stomach tumor.
