A Turtle's Birthday

Tianjin Natural History Museum has organized a birthday celebration party for one of its turtles, which arrived there last year.

 

 

Visitors of the Tianjin Natural History Museum were surprised to find a unique birthday celebration in progress when they arrived.

 

The museum held a special party for one of its turtles, who attended the festivities dressed in a vest with the auspicious Chinese word "Shou", which stands for "a long life." The celebration included a show that featured the attired tortoise swimming with a Mermaid.

 

According to the museum’s staff, this turtle is nearly 200 years old, but it is still energetic and intelligent.
