Bay County- Zoo World in Panama City Beach had a special New Year’s treat for their animals on Saturday.
Donated Christmas trees were covered with peanut butter, cheerios, and fruit roll ups as ornaments.
Presents were even put under the tree for animals to un-wrap and play with
Zoo World officials say that the purpose of doing this is to enrich the animals both mentally and physically.
Stephanie Willard, the director of education at Zoo World says that each year they always put donated Christmas trees in exhibits for animals to play with, but this year they're making it special.
"What we do usually is people donate trees and we'll throw them in and let the animals play with them. Big animals like lions and tigers like to rub on them to get the smells. Today, we're actually going to do some decorating and put some extra little treats on them," said Willard.
Zoo World is always in need of enrichment items for the animals such as buckets, colognes, cereal, and Christmas trees when they're available.
