A female koala bred at a zoo in Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, turned 24 last month, breaking the record for the oldest zoo and being certified as a Guinness World Record.
The certified female koala "Midori" was born in Australia in 1997 and has been bred at a zoo in Minamiawaji City since the age of six.
Midori turned 24 on the 1st of last month and was certified as a Guinness World Record by breaking the record of the oldest breeding animal, and was awarded a certificate on the 14th.
The average age of captive koalas is 16 years, with previous records of 23-year-old female koalas raised in Australian reserves.
According to the facility, Midori is about 110 years old in humans, but he has a strong appetite and ate eucalyptus leaves for 14 days.
In addition to being able to climb trees, he loves having the keeper trim his coat with a brush.
A woman in her thirties who visited from Kobe said, "I want you to stay healthy."
Atsushi Goto, the keeper, said, "Midori's personality is very calm and like a family. I will continue to support her firmly."
