Taronga Zoos 15-month-old chimpanzee " Fumo" opens one of his Christmas presents after the chimps at the exhibit discovered some gift-wrapped food treats and other tasty decorations in Sydney on December 9, 2014. The chimpanzees 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, taken by William West from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we see Fumo, a 15-month-old chimpanzee at Taronga Zoos in Australia, eagerly unwrapping his Christmas present. It was December 9,2014, when the chimps at the exhibit discovered gift-wrapped food treats and other tasty decorations prepared by their keepers. Fumo's excitement is palpable as he skillfully opens his gift to reveal the hidden treasure inside. The enrichment items were designed to showcase the chimpanzees' natural foraging skills, and they wasted no time in demonstrating their intelligence and resourcefulness. Some of them even found joy in playing with the cardboard box packaging. This image captures not only Fumo's curiosity but also highlights the importance of providing mental stimulation and enrichment activities for animals living in captivity. Taronga Zoos' dedicated keepers went above and beyond to ensure that these intelligent creatures had a festive experience during the holiday season. The photograph serves as a reminder of our shared connection with animals and how we can create moments of joy for them even within an artificial environment. As we witness Fumo's sheer delight while opening his present, it sparks feelings of warmth and compassion within us all.
