The lions and gorillas at ZSL London Zoo woke up to a festive surprise this week, as keepers shared some early Christmas treats with the animals.  

Asiatic lions Bhanu and Arya discovered brightly wrapped boxes scented with seasonal spices in their Land of the Lions home, while the Zoo’s troop of Western lowland gorillas found gifts of their favourite festive veg under the trees in Gorilla Kingdom.  

Open every day apart from Christmas Day, families can even walk off Christmas lunch amongst the animals on Boxing Day. Set in 36 acres of outdoor space, ZSL London Zoo is a nature haven at the heart of the capital: zsl.org/london
