This photo provided by the Philadelphia Zoo shows Coldilocks, the oldest polar bear in the U.S., at 37. The zoo says they celebrated her birthday Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017, with a cake made of peanut butter, honey, raisins and fish. Guests at the party braved a cold, icy day to sing “Happy Birthday” to the bear. Zoo officials say the average lifespan for polar bears in captivity is 23 years. They credit Coldilocks’ long age with the care she receives from her keepers and veterinary staff. Coldilocks lived with her partner Klondike for more than three decades before the bear died in 2015 at age 34. (Philadelphia Zoo via AP)
