The Berlin Zoo shared a video of Fatou celebrating the special day with a birthday cake..</p>
<p>
The video footage shows Fatou enjoying a cake that has the number 65 written on it with berries. Christian Aust, who works at the zoo, said, “The base of the cake is made of rice, and we used quark, vegetables and fruit for the decoration.”</p>
<p>
All species of gorillas, with the exception of the mountain gorilla, are now considered critically endangered. Their population is declining due to poaching and  deforestation.</p>
