Taronga Zoos 15-month-old chimpanzee " Fumo" leaps off a log while carrying 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, we see Fumo, a 15-month-old chimpanzee at Taronga Zoos in Australia, leaping off a log with excitement as he carries one of his Christmas presents. Taken on December 9,2014, the image captures the joy and curiosity of these intelligent creatures during the festive season. The chimps at the exhibit were in for a delightful surprise when they discovered gift-wrapped food treats and other tasty decorations prepared by their keepers. Displaying their natural foraging skills, they wasted no time pouncing on the enrichment items to uncover the hidden goodies inside. However, it seems that some of them found just as much pleasure playing with the cardboard box packaging! Photographer William West beautifully captures Fumo's exuberance as he leaps through the air with his newfound treasure. The vibrant colors of Christmas adornments create a cheerful atmosphere against which Fumo's playful antics shine brightly. This photograph serves as a reminder of both our shared joy during holiday celebrations and our connection to animals who also experience happiness and excitement. It showcases how zoos like Taronga provide opportunities for enrichment and stimulation to ensure these incredible creatures lead fulfilling lives. William West's snapshot encapsulates not only an adorable moment but also highlights important conservation efforts undertaken by zoos worldwide. Through images like this one, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and preserve these magnificent animals for future generations to enjoy.
