TAMPA, FL — Enrichment went classical for the residents at ZooTampa Tuesday when pianist Cesar Maeda performed a concert for the orangutan family, including a belated "Happy Birthday" for Goyang, one of eight Borean orangutans at the zoo, with the help of zoo guests.

Maeda then visited Jamie and Gronk. Jamie is an endangered one-horned rhino. She gave birth to Gronk, named for Tampa Bay Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski, on Sept. 12.

Jamie quickly got into the spirit of the occasion, She even stepped in to play a quick duet with Cesar using her prehensile upper lip.
