Compared to the fuss that we make about pumpkins at Halloween time, the enrichment and culinary value of Christmas trees at the zoo never seems to gain as much media traction. Perhaps it's because late December and early January is a time of year when we have far fewer visitors than in October. Perhaps it's because far fewer animals like to eat Christmas trees as opposed to pumpkins.
I mean, I know which of the two I'd rather eat...
Enjoy the footage of elephants snacking on Christmas trees in Berlin (which, I realize, I've also shared this time last year and the year before, but why mess with a tradition? But why always Berlin? Isn't anyone else doing it?)!
And here's a tiger enjoying (but not eating) a Christmas tree at Tacoma, Washington's Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium
