On Thursday, the polar bear Hudson turned seventeen.
Since making his zoo debut in December 2006 at the former Bear Grottos, he has become a visitor favorite, according to the zoo.
He received special goodies made by the animal care team to help him celebrate, such as an ice cake topped with his favorite fish, herring, and another ice treat with raisins on top.
Hudson also received a barrel filled with his preferred enrichment materials.
