Christmas Trees turned into presents for lemurs at Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Discarded Christmas Trees have been given a new lease of life as enrichment toys for the lemurs at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

Rangers delivered the trees to the one-acre Lemur Woods reserve for the enjoyment of the endangered ring tailed and red bellied lemurs.

Like us all after the Christmas season the lemurs really enjoyed getting out and about and playing around in the trees. It is wonderful to see the trees being used to enrich their lives now they are no longer needed. We have more than enough to go around and don't need any extra.
