The animals of the Oakland Zoo were a little late in the holiday celebration but they frolicked among Christmas trees yesterday. Of course, these were the discarded trees you didn't want anymore.
Otters, giraffes, elephants and meerkats frolicked among the discarded trees, which is sort of heartwarming. The zookeepers hid special food and scents in the trees for each of them.

The trees will be like a weird scent game for the animals. Just like your cat loves a new box or piece of furniture, these guys love new toys. Zookeepers will even move an christmas tree from the meerkat enclosure over to the lions', which will be catnip for them I bet.
