Christmas trees in the zoo: lions and tramplings look forward to the festival!

In the run -up to Christmas, unsuccessful Christmas trees transform the zoos into exciting experiences for animal lovers. In the Heidelberg Zoo, an unwanted Christmas tree becomes a playground for the animals. The great Berber lion and his little brother show how much fun it is to roam the fresh, fragrant Nordmann firs. According to a current press release from the Zoo Heidelberg Papa Löwe rolls in the tree with relish, while the little lion bravely lives out his joy of discovery. "Nouri is developing great," says zookeeper Manuel Stumpf and enthusiastically observes the game behavior of the lion family. This playful interaction is particularly important to promote the motor skills of young cats.

sustainability meets animal welfare

The topic of sustainability is also in the foreground in the Berlin Tierpark, where Christmas trees serve as a welcome change for the zoo animals. The festive trees are not only a welcome feed offer, but also a possibility to occupy and stimulate animals. While the animals play with the trees and nibble, visitors can observe how these seasonal treats contribute to the joie de vivre of the zoo animals, as reported in Tierpark Berlin . These initiatives show that the waiver of the Christmas tree not only protects the environment, but also supports the well -being of the animals in the zoos.

The Christmas trees are donated by regional partners and are carefully selected to ensure that they are untreated and free of harmful jewelry. In this way, the animals can play with the trees safely and live out their curious nature. With this campaign, the Heidelberg Zoo and the Berlin Zoo are a sign of an animal -friendly and sustainable Christmas season, which both the zoo animals and visitors enjoy.
