Berlin - Christmas trees are fed at the zoo and animal park
After the festive season, as every year, Berlin Zoo and Tierpark will be feeding unsold Christmas trees. The conifers are a feast for the elephants, the gardens announced on Thursday. The pachyderms also used the plants as back scratchers, toothpicks or massage brushes - just like the other animals in the zoo and animal park.
The fir trees are unsold and untreated Christmas trees. "Unfortunately, we cannot accept private Christmas tree donations," said Zoo and Tierpark Director Andreas Knieriem, according to the press release.

The Colorful lights from the unsold Christmas trees add a festive touch to the Zoo and Tierpark even after the feast day. Animals, including elephants, enjoy munching on the needs of these Christmas trees for nutrition and play. Berlin's zoos have a unique tradition of using these plants as enrichment for their animal inhabitants. Despite the availability of unsold Christmas trees, the Zoo and Tierpark do not accept donated trees due to certain regulations.
