On August 19, 2012, Adelina was born at the Little Rock Zoo.  To celebrate her first birthday (a couple of days early), the Little Rock Zoo is throwing a Birthday Party for Adelina.

Zoo staff and docents have been preparing gifts for Adelina as well as her family.  She was born last year to Sekani (mom) and Fossey (dad).  A western lowland gorilla, she has quickly become Arkansas’ most popular primate — complete with her own Facebook page.

The birthday party will begin at 10am at the Little Rock Zoo.

This weekend will be a great time to get in one final visit to the Zoo before the start of the school year.

The Little Rock Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
