Festive Fun at the Zoo

Press Release: Orana Wildlife Park
Festive Fun at the Zoo
Christmas will arrive early for
Orana Wildlife Park’s 400 animals as keepers play Santa
and prepare a range of festive themed treats to hand out
tomorrow. Starting from 10.30am various enrichment feeds
will occur throughout the day. The zoo is closed on
Christmas Day so by providing the treats a day early,
visitors can enjoy seeing the animals munch, crunch, smash
and crack in to their presents.
Acting Manager of
Exotic Mammals, Jenny Bowles, says: “providing quality
enrichment is important for animal welfare. The food-based
Christmas presents will be something different for the
animals and I am sure visitors will also enjoy the seeing
presents ripped and clawed into.”
The Orana team
wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
