Giant Tortoise Celebrates 94th Birthday at Oklahoma City Zoo

A giant tortoise celebrated her 94th birthday at Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden on May 15. The zoo shared this video showing Isa the Galapagos tortoise enjoying her own personalized cake.

Galapagos tortoises are some of the longest living animals in the world, according to the zoo. The population suffered rapid decline towards extinction, down as low as 3,000 in the 1970s, but conservation efforts have helped the population rise to around 20,000 Galapagos tortoises in the wild, the zoo said.
