Born in 1986, Jangsoon is a long-lived giraffe who has reached the age of 100 in human years, considering that the average lifespan of giraffes is less than 25 to 30 years.
Starting in 1990 until 2013, Jangsoon gave birth to 18 calves and is registered in the Guinness Book of Animal Records, the International Species Information System (ISIS), as the giraffe with the most offspring worldwide.
Everland Zoo keepers made a cake with various nutritious foods that Jangsoon likes, including hay, carrots, cabbage, and sweet potatoes, to celebrate her 35th birthday.
