Zoo animals enjoy gourmet meals and spa treatments

Melbourne Zoo's eight kitchens prepare 400 different food items daily to feed thousands of animals, from live yabbies for platypuses to 20 kilos of greens per gorilla. Tamarins receive bathtub-sized buffets of varied options as part of their specialised diets. At a zoo in Hungary, tortoises are pampered with spa treatments including shell cleaning, veterinary check-ups, scratches, and a banquet of fresh vegetables.
