Boxing Day

The day after Christmas is traditionally known as Boxing Day - for reasons completely unrelated to big cats and cardboard boxes and enrichment.  

Still, if you're cleaning up from your holiday festivities and have very large cardboard boxes - or a natural Christmas tree - consider checking in with your local zoo to see if they want them for enrichment purposes.  The box idea is especially good to keep in mind for when you get large appliances - bigger boxes are bigger toys for bigger animals.


If they don't, consider tossing your (again, natural) Christmas tree in your yard, where it can serve as wildlife habitat instead of just rotting in the landfill.  That's some quality regifting!
