Unsold Christmas tree Gifts to the zoo January 15 10:16
At the zoo in Russia, unsold trees are donated at Christmas, where animals eat leaves, climb, play and enjoy Christmas gifts that are a bit late.
In Russia, Christmas is celebrated on January 7 according to the Orthodox tradition, but it is customary to decorate the tree from late December to early January, and many families purchase and decorate real conifers every year.
However, due to the large amount of unsold trees, Moscow Zoo has been calling on sellers eight years ago to donate unsold trees to animals.
About a week after the new year, 1500 trees were collected and immediately presented to animals.
Of these, the panda, who just came from China last year, climbed up the tree with excitement and continued to play regardless of the weight of the body breaking the tree and sticking the bottom mochi on the ground.
Also, a group of antelopes of the type "Takin" were crazy about tree trunks and leaves.
Depending on the zoo, the softwood used for the tree is rich in vitamin C and amino acids and is suitable for feeding.
In addition, the zoo says that there are various uses depending on the type of animal, such as sharpening nails and rubbing corners with the trunk, so the zoo said, `` The unsold tree does not go to the garbage dump, I'm glad to find a new role in it. "
