Counting down to Christmas The countdown to Christmas is on and the festive season is well underway at the Zoos. Our animals have been busy joining in the celebrations, and some animals have even had some presents early! At London Zoo, our tigers, meerkats and squirrel monkeys kicked off the countdown to Christmas this week by opening their own advent calendars. Take a guess at how long it took our tiger cubs, Zac and Crispin to get their paws into their presents, find out in the video below!  Watch the video

Christmas comes early for our chimps Our troop of chimps at Whipsnade Zoo have kicked off the festive season by opening some early presents from their keepers. The chimpanzees delved into the festive enrichment boxes to find their hidden snacks -encouraging the primates to use their foraging and puzzle-solving skills Watch the video

From 1 -24 December, you can also join Santa's cheeky elves as they open the Giant Advent Calendar and reveal a different animal to celebrate each day at the Zoo. Visit London Zoo Christmas at Whipsnade Zoo On weekends from 25 November, then 16-24 December, kids will be able to get stuck into themed crafts and hear from experts as they give enrichment specific to each animal. Don't miss our Christmas competition to design enrichment for one of the featured animals.
