Zoo Animals Hunt for Easter Treats

0:00Chile's biggest private zoo in Santiago just wrapped up its annual Easter egg hunt, but this one's strictly for the animals. Mircats, monkeys, lemurs, and even small cats like caracals got to hunt for treats hidden in egg-shaped bags filled with their natural foods. No, chocolate involved. Zookeepers scattered the snacks around enclosures to mimic wild foraging. Car cows pounced on meat packs up in the trees while Mircats sniffed out goodies tucked between rocks. Director Ignacio Ido Solaga says these hunts tap into instincts, animals use daily in the wild, keeping them sharp and engaged. Visitors love watching the action, turning a holiday tradition into real education. This marks the 16th year running, and the teams diled up the creativity this time with fruits in bunny-eared bags for primates and a puzzle. Ball for sheep to peck at their pellets. Events like this keep the zoo buzzing year after year, blending fun with solid animal care that hits right in the wild heart.
