Do animals have the ability to grasp the concept of a birthday? Sadly, no. But does that stop us from throwing them the kind of party they deserve? Of course not! Our pets deserve the very best, as does every other creature on Earth. Luckily, the folks at zoos and aquariums are the perfect people to ensure our wildlife animal friends get their parties, too.

These fun celebrations can be found all over social media, like the time this giraffe was amazed by the zoo staff singing Happy Birthday to her. Then there’s Rhu, a clouded leopard. Her birthday is in March, and she most recently turned 11! This beloved feline was treated to a number of fun surprises. See for yourself in the video below!

Rhu is short for Rhubarb. Yes, like the pie! This name was chosen to reflect the day she was born: Pi Day. So, while there wasn’t any actual pie to be had during her birthday celebration, Rhu was happily surprised by other treats. Rather than a normal cake, she got an “ice cake.” As boring as that would be for a human, it was exactly what this fierce feline wanted!
In addition to the treats, Rhu was also treated to some thoughtful decorations. She even took time to admire them! Best of all, though, she was surrounded by a number of staff who absolutely adore her.

“[Be right back], crying,” someone writes in reply to this sweet video, with another person adding, “Happy birthday girlie! It’s clear how much your team loves you.”
“Happy Birthday Rhu!” a third person adds. “May you have many more birthdays in the future!”
