What happens to all the Christmas trees after they get discarded? Most countries simply take the trees to a dump, but Germany discovered an innovative solution. Authorities gather up some discarded trees and ship them off to the zoo, where elephants munch on the greenery with glee. Elephants at Berlin Zoo got a festive snack on Thursday after being offered some leftover Christmas trees.
