Taranga Zoo has a bit of a tradition of bringing Christmas joy a little early to its inhabitants.
This year Christmas arrived on December the 4th for the animals and the chimpanzees appeared to have been very well-behaved this year, as Santa was most generous.
Every year Taronga Zoo gives the animals gifts that are all designed to intrigued and challenge their natural curiosity and skills.
