PRAGUE ZOO WILL DELIGHT ANIMALS WITH CHRISTMAS TREES

PRAGUE ZOO WILL DELIGHT ANIMALS WITH CHRISTMAS TREES

On Monday and Tuesday, Prague Zoo will scent the Christmas trees. Thematic enrichment will be provided during special guided feedings for more than ten species of animals. For example, for elephants, bison, or porcupines, unsold conifers will be not only a treat but also great fun. Curious kea parrots will explore the trees, and our golden piglets, the African brush-tailed porcupines from the Dja Reserve, will also play with them.

New edition

In short, carnivores will not be left out either. The keepers will attract the bear-like devils with conifers and quails, and the Cape honey badgers will wait for trees decorated with wicker balls filled with meat. For the first time, the Prague Zoo will provide Christmas trees with apples or squid for the twin polar bears Gregor and Aleut.

Various types of enrichment, such as unusual toys or food, encourage animals to play, explore, or discover, which is important for their mental and physical activity and well-being.

For the media: A meeting for journalists will take place on Monday at 11:40 at the northern entrance to the Prague Zoo. Please send your accreditation along with your phone number to dostalkova@zoopraha.cz. In the email, please remember to indicate whether you will arrive by car or public transport. Further dates are possible by individual arrangement.
