00:00We're here at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park celebrating Monroe Gorillas' second
00:04birthday. He was born here at the park on June 17th. So we've got all kinds of
00:13enrichment for the gorillas on exhibit today as you can see. Our volunteers went
00:17crazy making all kinds of cardboard animals and toys and boxes and presents
00:22and even an airplane and they've got all kinds of goodies spread throughout the
00:25exhibit as well. As you can see on the exhibit we have cakes and cupcakes for
00:30the gorillas and they're made out of ice with a no-cal of flavoring lemonade
00:35different flavors and they're also filled with all kinds of fruits and veggies
00:40their normal diet that they would get and the frosting that you see on the
00:43cupcakes is made out of cooked yam and bananas. Monroe is quite the precocious
00:48old guy just being two years old you'd never know it he's all over everywhere
00:52and playing with everybody. He plays with all the adults and his newest buddy Frank
00:57who came up from the zoo. So Frank is four and a half and with Monroe too they make
01:02quite a pair.
01:12Monroe really likes his popcorn. They all really like their popcorn and that's a
01:16special treat for them and it's air pop so we can give it to them you know quite
01:20frequently and they just love it. Well time does fly and you know this being Monroe's
01:26second birthday it's kind of hard for us all to believe that he's growing up so
01:29fast but they do and they're really busy and having lots of fun and it's really
01:35fun for us to watch them develop and grow.
