Happy zoo-mas as animal residents get early Christmas gifts
PerthNow
It’s beginning to look a lot like Zoo-mas! While boys and girls all over WA wait for Santa Claws, the Christmas cheer has come early for Perth Zoo’s animal residents.
The spotted hyaena, African lions, sun bears and Sumatran tiger have all been tucking into holiday-themed enrichment as the big day approaches.
The sun bears feasted on leafy wreaths, the hyaena were busy opening their meaty treats and the Sumatran tiger and African lions pawed through a spread of decorations in search of a Christmas feast.
While it’s holly jolly fun, enrichment like this is an important part of animal’s daily lives. During the festive season, Perth Zoo’s dedicated keepers get extra creative and add a Christmas twist.
