African Wild Dog Enrichment involves a meat hook pulley system that mimics “a hunt”. This encourages the animals to engage in their natural hunting behavior.
Thanks to @raesafaris for sponsoring the hook pulley system.

Ho ho ho🎁🎅🎄🐾
We are officially spreading the holiday cheer
The zoo’s chimps were the first furry friends to get into the festive spirit with special gifts as part of their enrichment programme. Our incredible team prepared personal presents filled with their favorite treats - nuts, fruits, honey, and the much-loved monkey Chow delight!
Watch to see their sheer excitement as they unwrap their gift.
Spotted: Ramadiba enjoying a splashy mud bath 🛁🐘🐘🐘
DYK: Elephants have minimal hair and sweat glands, making it difficult to cool off under the harsh African sun. The mud bath cools them down and provides a protective layer on their body to shield them from insect bites and the sun.
