Christmas tree recycling has created a “novel” post-festive delight for the residents of a zoo in Essex.
About 200 trees, donated by local businesses, have been introduced as part of an enrichment programme at Colchester Zoo for many species including elephants, meerkats and chimpanzees.
“The animals really enjoy the Christmas trees,” zoo spokeswoman Laura Lamb said.
Food is hidden in the trees to encourage foraging and play.

not all zoos are cruel
helping with lost or dwindling species also
“Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me." – Luke 18:22
Uh, Christmas is over, BBC
More bbc bull shit
That Zoo looks more like a prison for animals. In the wild those elephants would walk for many many miles each day but in here they walk 10 feet and hit a wall and have some silly humans feeding them by hand. Exploitation at it's finest
Take the town back the forest
Great idea
Think they should ban this tradition. It's proof we a throw away society. A good artificial tree will last you for ever and no waste.
2019 another year for programming da lambs
No deal Brexit, NOW

🌲👍😎
Perfect idea
not really recycling it are they. just flytipping it really.
deforestation in captivity claps hands
Still a prison now u throw em human trash n insult their intelligence by sayin they love it just cuz they search for the food smh..I've seen ppl dig into dumpster from desperation so I don't see why a hungry animal wouldn't accept any food given the chance..zoos are disgusting
That’s so awesome!
well that makes up for destroying forests, eco systems and killing animals for fun
When will we stop this animal slavery ..10000 years of slavery never ending …all those poor creatures in those cages they all belong in the wild, those trees belong in the ground.. enough of this pagan holiday !Jesus doesn't care about trees ,corporate America does
trump 2020
Poor animals….stimulated by our rubbish. What fun that must be….
Don't forget remove the decorations first. Knowing how messy and unthinking that uk-society is.
Good initiative 😊
