We’re headed to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park today for our birthday celebration! This lovely lady is Leslie, and today is her 10th birthday! Born and raised at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Leslie has grown up quite a bit lately! With all of the changes that have happened over the last few months and her eyes clearly focused on new silverback Matt, we’re sure today was an extra special day for an extra special lady!

We’re headed to the Dallas Zoo today for our third of 4 birthday celebrations! This handsome fella is Moyo, and today is his 8th birthday! Originally born at the Riverbanks Zoo, Moyo and his brother ZaKota headed to Dallas earlier this year to join a newly forming bachelor group. With Moyo’s name meaning heart, it’s no wonder that he’s garnered so much attention (and probably treats today) with his new bachelor buddies!
