Buckwheat the sun bear celebrated the happy occasion with the zoo pulling out all the stops to celebrate this historic birthday.
Buckwheat was treated to a white cake with peanut butter and honey icing, plus presents filled with fruits and veggies, some of her favorites.
You may think 28 is young, but to sun bears living in zoos, it's quite historic.
The life expectancy for a sun bear in a zoo is between 18 to 20, so reaching 28 is quite a feat for Buckwheat.
Not only is Buckwheat celebrating a birthday, Simone the Asiatic black bear is turning 23 and Francois the sloth bear is turning 18.
