Primates cash in on Spring Festival fun at Chongqing animal park

Stuffed with nuts and red dates, these “hongbao,” or red envelopes, proved to be a real treat for the primates of Chongqing’s Leheledu Animal Theme Park.

To share Chinese New Year cheer, keepers at the animal park in southwest China distributed the red envelopes among ring-tailed lemurs, squirrel monkeys, black-capped capuchins and others.

Leheledu Animal Theme Park is home to over a hundred species of birds and animals, including African elephants, giraffes, golden tigers, silver tigers and bottlenose dolphins.
