Yang Guang & Tian Tian’s first birthday in Edinburgh
Yang Guang was the first giant panda to celebrate his birthday in Scotland. On August 14, 2012 he became nine years old. Here is a picture of Yang Guang, when he walks up to a panda head shaped cake made of nutritional supplements.
Darren McGarry, head of animals at Edinburgh Zoo, said: "It's all been quite exciting here for us planning the first of two very special birthdays, and first up to receive the birthday treatment is Yang Guang.
"We all know how much Yang Guang loves bamboo, usually munching his way through around 60kg of the green stuff a day, so we thought what better than building big boxes made of it for his presents.
"It will be fantastic to see his reaction to his birthday gifts, as we've never given him anything like these presents before, it might bamboozle him slightly at first but, I'm sure it won't be too long before he realises it's a tasty treat.
"He'll need to figure out how to get into them, as most nine-year-old boys are a little bit more boisterous than girls, he'll probably throw them around and generally smash the boxes to bits and pieces, and then eat it all up."
