Even though they can’t have chocolate, our animals still like to celebrate Easter!

Easter’s a fun time all round, what with all the chocolate, Easter Egg hunts and visits from the Easter bunny. But it’s an egg-stra fun time for our zookeepers who get to make alternative Easter treats for our animals.

[Pullout] “Everyone loves a treat at Easter and that’s the same for our animals too. Providing enrichment for our animals is a major part of a zookeeper’s role and giant Easter eggs provide us with a great opportunity to encourage natural behaviour in our animals by hiding food for them to sniff out!” – Rosie Badger, lion keeper.
