Como Zoo Gorilla Celebrates 1st Birthday

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) -- Como Zoo celebrated one of it's smallest animals in a big way.

Arlene, the gorilla, celebrated her first birthday Monday. Zookeepers decorated the Gorilla House with some streamers and wrapped a few presents for her.

She wasn't a true party animal, though -- Arlene mostly clung to her mom.

They did open some of the presents, which included some treats like a banana cake and graham crackers. She also got an ice cake with gummy bears and berries frozen into it.

You can see more pictures on the Como Zoo's Facebook page.
