00:00This ape is entering his golden years.
00:02Tony the Gorilla lives at the Kiev Zoo in Ukraine.
00:05On Thursday, he celebrated his 50th birthday,
00:08making him one of the oldest gorillas in captivity in Europe.
00:11According to Discover Wildlife, the oldest gorilla ever recorded died at 60.
00:16Tony's zookeepers say they've kept him healthy with a plant-based diet.
00:19But Tony hasn't been unaffected by the war between Ukraine and Russia.
00:23His keepers say that he has sometimes been stressed out by air raid sirens.
00:27And this footage from last year shows him being kept warm with a wood burner
00:31due to war-related power cuts.
