Halloween: Zoo animals get a spooky surprise!
- Published
Look how excited this ring-tailed lemur is with its pumpkin!
The jack-o-lanterns were filled with the animal's favourite treats, like sweetcorn. This lemur is certainly excited for its snack!
Did you know there are over 100 different types of lemur? Or that wild lemurs can only be found in Madagascar? Or that a group of lemurs is called a conspiracy? Well, you do now!
There were plenty of treats to go around as you can see here - sharing is caring!
It wasn't just lemurs who had all the fun - greater one-horned rhino mum Behan and her daughter Zhiwa had fun rolling the ghoulish gourds around with their horns before munching on the tasty pumpkin flesh.
The pumpkins themselves are a tasty treat for the rhinos, so they were very happy indeed!
Last but not least, African lion Khari also got involved in the eerie eatery!
A group of lions is called a pride, and most live in Africa, except for one very small population in India. Here Khari is having a bit of a kickabout with the pumpkin - don't they know not to play with their food?
