A family of Goeldi’s Monkeys munched on waxworms from Christmas pudding themed enrichment balls.
Sumbe, the male snow leopard, discovered a lost bag of Santa’s mail filled with his favourite treats.
A mischievous mob of Meerkats enjoyed a bag full of Christmas Eve treats stuffed with a sumptuous snack of mealworms and Flick and Harry, the Asian Small-Clawed Otters, enjoyed a winter treat-filled enrichment playtime.
Giant African Land Snails enjoyed munching on Christmas Tree shaped sweet potato.
All of the animals enjoyed their own special taste of Christmas to help join in the festivities.
Charlotte Dykes, of the Welsh Mountain Zoo, said: “Of course Christmas is a very special time of year for everyone, and we wanted to make sure our animals enjoyed some festive fun especially just for them.
“Christmas day is the only day that the zoo closes and we’re already back to normal opening hours with full tummies and plenty of Christmas cheer.”
