Tony the gorilla’s birthday

🦍💚 Our incredible Tony is 49!!!

☝️ By human standards this is almost 90. Tony is not only the only gorilla in Ukraine but also one of the oldest gorillas in Europe.

And like every elderly person our “grandfather” has his own age nuances that require professional control and special supervision. So 3 years ago Tony had problems with the gastrointestinal tract which led, in particular, to gaining excess weight. At that time his weight had increased to 230 kg. And then our specialists, zoologists and veterinarians in cooperation with European colleagues conducted a complete examination of the body and prescribed a therapeutic diet and special physical exercises.

Boiled meat was removed from Tony’s diet replacing it with lower-calorie plant foods. “Honey termite” and “Fruit drum” were installed in the enclosure . And our birthday boy loves exercises with balls ⚽🏀🏐

🍇🍅🥦🥜 🥚 Today’s diet includes: cereal bread, peas, beans, lentils, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, walnuts, peanuts, branch fodder, chicken egg, a mixture of rice and buckwheat groats, boiled potatoes, table beets, carrots, cabbage cauliflower, Beijing and broccoli, onion, green and leek, garlic, sweet pepper, curly lettuce, iceberg and lettuce, salad chicory, celery shoots, spinach, parsley, arugula, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, young corn, watermelon, melon, apples, banana, peach, pineapple, blueberry, grapes, lemon, orange, plum, peach, nectarine, apricot, fermented milk drink, vegetable, tomato and fruit juice, vegetable fiber, flax seeds, honey, various herbal and fruit teas 🥛🧉☕

Our old man has revived, entered his normal weight – 180 kg and looks great for his age 🥰
