World's Oldest Gorilla Is Living Her Best Life

It’s a celebration for Fatou for her 65th birthday. She lives at Berlin Zoo and is the world’s oldest living gorilla. The life expectancy for a gorilla is about 40, so at 65, Fatou is a legend. In human years, that’s over 100 years old. She’s living her best life and doing what many love to do on birthdays - grub on cake. Hers is made of boiled rice, curd, vegetables, raspberries and blueberries. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

She's so mellow and kicked-back! I hope I'm that chill at 65.

[@alienandroid2012]

Born in 1957 wow. Being bullied by the stronger and younger ones, taking her food 🥺:c

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

Honestly living her best life would be out in the wild but I understand that sometimes we can't make that happen. I hope she truly is happy where is and well taken care of.

[@hotbbqporkbun8214]

I was waiting for a comment like this. I don’t think she woulda lived this long in the wild but that wouldve been true freedom

[@sueme1954]

Why don't you ask her what SHE would have preferred ? Lol I hope they find ways to keep her intellectually stimulated. I wonder if gorillas can get dementia?

[@omega-nf5ku]

Go live in the wild and tell me it's a good life. Don't be dumb. Gorillas don't have a good life in the wild dummy

Good for her. Although it's a shame she has to be alone, due to the younger generation.

[@jaycee8458]

Just like us

[@teesmith501]

Indeed a shame. Just like us humans, the younger disrespecting their elders.

Gorilla: What is this strange item I’m eating…tastes like honey 🍯.

[@misterhot9163]

Hell at 65, give her buttercream frosting!!!😆

[@h.s.6269]

I'm curious if she would welcome another type of animal for company. Like let her see various ones with a bar between to ensure safety just to gauge whether there would be aggression. If lonely she might welcome the company of a baby of something else perhaps a kitten, or try a very young gorilla for her to foster.

[@NathanSpies]

My hometown zoo (Louisville Zoo) also has a gorilla over 60 years old

[@Freezeivy]

That’s means that too impeccable care of her!!! Happy Birthday girl!! ❤️❤️

[@Game_with_me-r6j]

It's supposed to be in the wild to live the best of its life and not at a confined space.

[@Florida_man21]

It would still die if it were to be released into the wild

[@ETProducts]

Did you not hear that she is a part of an endangered species?

[@allistancooper2313]

If she have lived in the wild she will have not lived too 65 because she would't have had access to the abandance of food,mendicine and safty thats making her live that long.

[@gamblingg0urmet]

ah yes because living in the natural habitat where destruction is making them endangered would be so much better

[@darkamity1399]

Lol I doubt if she will even make it to 10 if she’s in the wild

[@evansuarez5432]

Living her best life caged in a zoo with strangers watching her 24/7. Yea, that’s a life worth living.

[@mamapoch1915]

Normally I would agree with you 100% but this is a different scenario.

[@rangerswing]

In the wild she would have been dead a long time ago.

[@deadumbreon2512]

Shed be dead by now if she wasnt there

[@manuelvasquez9923]

I understand, if animals could live in their habitat and never ever be bothered or infringed on that would be so great so ideal , but of course it has never being like that. I’m happy this magnificent animal at least lived to be loved and lived a long life . Thank you for caring . God Bless

[@striderwhiston9897]

In the wild she'd be dead by 19 and likely would've died a painful death. At least in captivity she has warmth, she doesn't have to worry about predators or other similar dangers, she has food, water, and company by the zookeepers.

[@mkazilakwamchilloh3563]

That’s her special nursing home
