Festive events at Belfast Zoo to highlight nature in Northern Ireland

5 November 2009 -

Those visiting Belfast in December will be able to sample some of the most beautiful nature in Northern Ireland, as the city's zoo is hosting a number of special events showcasing its most popular exhibits.

Visitors to Belfast on the first three weekends in December can see many of the wonderful attractions in Northern Ireland's biggest animal enclosure during feeding time, as well being able to see Santa and his elves.

Every Saturday and Sunday until December 20th, a programme of events will allow visitors to see monkeys, sea lions, lemurs and penguins have their daily feeds, as well as being able to wrap presents which will then be opened by the gorillas.

A unique chance to decorate a tree with treats for the elephants will cap off a memorable day of seeing some of the most awe-inspiring nature in Northern Ireland's capital.

Visitors to Belfast Zoo can now also see its latest star attraction, as a Sumatran tiger named Kabus was recently unveiled to the public.
