Photos taken by Greg Neise, Lincoln Park Zoo

Keo, a male chimpanzee at the Lincoln Park Zoo, is 50 years old today, which makes him one of the oldest chimps in any U.S. zoo. To celebrate, Nadeau's Ice Sculpture Inc. donated a 600-pound "fruit filled ice sculpture." That's Keo in the foreground and Vicky in the background.

That's Kibali, who's only 28.
