Easter brought enrichment for chimpanzees and a few small primates in Monkey Tails, thanks to the crafting skills of nine-year-old Emily Flockhart, from Kingswinford.
Emily, whose dad, Neil, is a senior keeper, spent her weekend making special Easter eggs from papier mache covered balloons, which she filled with fresh fruit and vegetables as a treat for her favourite species.
And she helped keeper Stacey Ball pictured with Emily hand out the goodies at Monkey Tails walkthrough rainforest experience where they provided hours of entertainment as the animals tried to reach every last one of the treats inside!
The eggs were a big success in Monkey Tails where white-faced saki monkeys and cheeky squirrel monkeys used their skills to get to the treats.
