Giraffes, lions, pademelons, quokkas, and echidnas of Sydney’s Taronga Zoo began the Christmas festivities early this week, opening up gift-wrapped food treats and Christmas-themed tasty decorations.

Zookeepers prepared the surprises to get the animals into the holiday spirit, maintain natural foraging skills, and engage with the world around them.
