TACOMA, Wash. (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Tilli, an aardvark at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Washington, was treated to some her favorite snacks as the zoo celebrated her 19th birthday on Thursday, September 5.

Zoo staff organized a "back-to-school-themed party" for Tilli to coincide with students' imminent return to classrooms in the Tacoma Public Schools system.
