Turning 'Sweet 16' is a rite of passage for many young girls across the world, and the animal kingdom is no exception.

Meet Chori, the resident red panda at Australia's Symbio Wildlife Park, who just turned the magical number 16. Milestones this big are definitely worth celebrating, so to ring in the birthday with some cheer, her zoo keeper Ash Clarke decided to treat Chori to a cake fit for a red panda queen.

With all her favourite fruits, the delicious cake was decorated with fresh bamboo shoots that had Chori licking her lips in excitement.

Happy Sweet 16, Chori!
