Christmas has come a little early at London Zoo as the animals have been given some presents already.
Animals across the Zoo were excited to come across some edible festive gifts.
The Bolivian black-capped squirrel monkeys found a new Christmas climbing frame under the trees in their home, filled with some treats.
Sumatran tiger Asim found some brightly wrapped presents filled with turkey wings (his favourite)
And the ring-tailed lemurs got some stockings filled with a selection of veggies.
SL London Zoo’s Animal Operations Manager, Angela Ryan, said: ‘It’s the season of giving and our keepers always look forward to sharing the magic of Christmas with the animals at ZSL London Zoo.
‘Just like children all over the country when they wake up on Christmas morning, Asim loved tearing into his brightly wrapped presents to get at the meaty snacks inside, while our squirrel monkeys and lemurs enjoyed finding the festive treats hidden in their stockings.
‘With plenty of very merry fun for all ages, ZSL London Zoo is the perfect place for families to enjoy a Christmas day out – visitors can make presents for the animals with Santa’s elves, enjoy themed rides, watch free festive films and much more!’
The Zoo remains open throughout Christmas, just closing on Christmas Day.
You might even spot their new baby rhino, who was born on 8 December.
The 70kg calf hasn’t been named yet but the zoo has promised they will reveal what she has been called in the New Year.
