Our turnto10.com video pick comes from Des Moines, Iowa where the Blank Park Zoo hosted a special birthday party for “Baldy,“ a Japanese Macaque. She may be the oldest known female monkey.
She was born in a monkey sanctuary in Texas back in 1974.
Experts say she’s lived about ten years longer than a normal snow monkey’s life expectancy.
To mark the occasion, Baldy feasted on brownies, nuts and seeds.
