Lincoln Zookeepers Give Treat-Filled Presents to Animals

lincoln-childrens-zooLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — At the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, even the animals shared in the holiday spirit.

In keeping with a zoo holiday tradition, on Thursday keepers presented their animals with treat-filled presents.

Zoo director John Chapo said the treats are an enrichment for the animals, and “the keepers have a great time with it.”

Carson and Tenzing, two of the zoo’s red pandas, found bamboo, bananas and apples in their box. Ranney, the snow leopard, savored meatballs. A naked mole-rat feasted on baby pears.
