One baby elephant named Edgar was the star of the show in Berlin's Tierpark zoo on Monday as zoo staff organized a huge birthday party for the little Asian elephant. Dozens of people and plenty of journalists came out to the zoo to wish the little tyke a happy birthday and even sang for him as well. Zookeepers prepared a special treat for the baby pachyderm by making him a cake made of crunchy vegetables and rice, and giving him an extra portion of bananas. Edgar the elephant was born on January 1, 2016 on the grounds of the zoo in the German capital, making him a true new years baby. Edgar shared his special day and treats with his sisters, while adults and children admired the baby elephant. Some people captured the birthday celebrations by taking pictures and videos. Edgar is one of the seven Asian elephants living at the Berlin Zoo.
Animals at the Chester Zoo must have chosen treat over trick, as zookeepers left behind delicious breakfast meals for the critters stowed away in Halloween pumpkins, just in time for the celebration of the upcoming spooky festival. Zookeepers placed the treats in the animal habitats so the curious creatures could find and enjoy. Amongst the lucky animals were the Andean Bears, Red Pandas and Tortoises. The animals had unique reactions to the pumpkins. Whilst the fierce Black Jaguar played with the pumpkin in the water, the snake simply slithered past. The Meerkats however were most curious about the treats, as they crowded around the pumpkin, elbowing each other to find out what was inside This comes as part of Chester Zoo's Enchantment event which lasts right up until Halloween on Monday, the 31st October.
Animals at various British zoos are given carved pumpkins to enjoy ahead of the Halloween festival.
