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.
