Hot potatoes, baboons and elephants in the snow
Zoogle News rounds up photos and video from around the UK as the country’s zoos cope with snow storms and freezing conditions.
Baboons at Knowsley Safari Park in Cheshire (above) snack on jacket potatoes and huddle together for warmth.
General manager David Ross said zookeepers were working hard to make sure all the park’s animals were as well-fed and csy as possible.
“In these conditions the baboons absolutely love a baked potato and it’s been fantastic to watch adults and youngsters alike collecting the steaming spuds from the keepers and enjoying something warm in the snow,” he said.
