The Wonderfully Wild Year that Was

From rambunctious baby rhinos to the arrival of a rare, amazing aye-aye, 2015 was a year of milestones for San Diego Zoo Global. We celebrated every new face, and honored the passing of a beloved old one. Take a quick look at the special moments we'll always remember.

Happy Birthday, Vila!

It's not polite to ask a lady her age, but Vila the gorilla is happy to share that she turned 58 last month, and is one of the four oldest gorillas in the world! Keepers and volunteers at the Safari Park made sure the big day was special, decorating the gorilla grande dame's exhibit with her favorite enrichment items and foods. Vila's whole troop joined in as the great-great-great grandmother celebrated her birthday in style.
