Ghost the Hippo is celebrating his 6th birthday at the Calgary Zoo!

There was plenty of treats for this Halloween birthday and Ghost was treated to a pumpkin.

Ghost has been at the zoo for over a month and is quickly bonding with his grandmother, Sparky.

The zoo says Ghost is quite active, quite the opposite of his more mellow grandmother.
