Move over, dumplings and red envelopes—this Lunar New Year, it's all about animal-approved celebrations! 🎋 The Yunnan Wild Animal Park in Kunming has whipped up a \"New Year’s feast\" tailored to its residents’ tastes, blending tradition with creature comforts.
From giant pandas crunching on bamboo-shaped cakes 🎍 to tigers enjoying meaty \"fortune pockets,\" the park’s caretakers designed festive menus matching each species’ diet. 🥟 \"It’s like a Michelin-star meal for animals,\" joked one zookeeper, highlighting how even lemurs got fruit platters arranged like traditional Chinese lanterns. 🏮
The initiative, part of China’s Spring Festival celebrations, aims to showcase wildlife conservation while connecting with cultural heritage. 🌸 \"Animals deserve to join the festivities too,\" said park director Li Wei, noting the meals also help educate visitors about biodiversity.
