Taipei Zoo on Friday threw a party for panda Yuan Zai to mark its fifth birthday. The zoo prepared not one but two cakes for the female panda, which were topped with her favorite foods including ice cubes, apples, melons and grapes. /Xinhua Photo
Since the five-year-old is mature enough to matee, the two cakes are intended to express a blessing that Yuan Zai can find her ideal “other half” soon. /Xinhua Photo
Despite the excitement of the fans in attendance, Yuan Zai didn't have a good appetite as she is undergoing a state of fake pregnancy - a typical phenomenon for female pandas around the age of four or five. She grabbed an apple on top of one cake, taking several bites before throwing it aside. /Xinhua Photo
Yuan Zai is the offspring of Tuan Tuan, and Yuan Yuan, a pair that was sent to the east China island region Taiwan as a goodwill gift by the mainland in 2008, and Yuan Yuan gave birth to Yuan Zai on July 6, 2013. /Xinhua Photo
