Giraffes wait patiently for their Christmas-themed gift-wrapped food treats and other tasty decorations in their exhibit at Taronga Zoo, in Sydney on December 9, 2014. The Chimps were quick to pounce on the festive-themed enrichment items prepared by keepers, showing off their natural foraging skills to uncover the food inside while some seemed just as happy playing with the cardboard box packaging.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, giraffes at Taronga Zoo in Sydney eagerly await their Christmas-themed gift-wrapped treats and decorations. Captured by photographer William West, the image showcases the anticipation and excitement of these majestic animals during the festive season. The giraffes stand tall with their long necks stretched out, patiently waiting for their turn to indulge in the delicious surprises hidden inside the beautifully wrapped presents. Their eyes are filled with curiosity as they anticipate what lies beneath the colorful packaging. Taronga Zoo keepers have gone above and beyond to create a joyful experience for these gentle giants. The enrichment items prepared by them not only provide nourishment but also stimulate the giraffes' natural instincts. It is fascinating to witness how these creatures use their incredible foraging skills to uncover the food inside, showcasing their intelligence and adaptability. While some giraffes focus solely on unwrapping their gifts, others seem equally content playing with the cardboard box packaging. This reminds us that sometimes it's not just about what's inside but also about finding joy in simple things. This photograph captures a beautiful moment of celebration and connection between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to care for and appreciate all living beings during special occasions like Christmas.
