Two-month-old chimpanzee " Liwali" is carried by her mother " Lisa" while inspecting Christmas gift-wrapped food treats and other tasty decorations left inside the exhibit 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, a two-month-old chimpanzee named "Liwali" is being carried by her mother, "Lisa" as they explore a Christmas wonderland of gift-wrapped food treats and tasty decorations. The exhibit in Sydney has been adorned with festive-themed enrichment items prepared by keepers to engage the chimpanzees' natural foraging instincts. The curious duo wastes no time in investigating the presents left inside their enclosure. With great agility and intelligence, they use their nimble fingers to unwrap the packages, revealing hidden treasures of delicious food. Their excitement is palpable as they uncover each treat, showcasing their innate ability to find sustenance in the wild. But it's not just about the food for these playful primates. Some of them are equally content playing with the cardboard box packaging that once held their delectable surprises. It reminds us that even simple objects can bring immense joy and entertainment to these intelligent creatures. Photographer William West captures this enchanting moment, highlighting both the beauty and complexity of our animal counterparts. This image serves as a reminder of our shared connection with nature and how important it is to provide enriching environments for animals under human care. Through this photograph, we witness an intimate glimpse into Liwali and Lisa's world—a world where curiosity reigns supreme and every day holds new adventures waiting to be unwrapped.
