Zoo animals in Buenos Aires kicked off the holiday season this week with Christmas gifts, trees and stockings stuffed with their favourite foods.
In the chimpanzee enclosure, mother Sasha and her five-year-old daughter Kangu ate fruit placed in the cage by handlers.
The two scrapped over Christmas stockings, with Sasha winning the upper hand. However, Sasha seemed to lose interest in the gifts quickly and settled on her daily diet of grass.
Martin, the father of the chimpanzee family, made a brief appearance to get his portion before retiring to his cave.
Meanwhile in the tiger cage, Riano, a five-year-old Bengal tiger with a big appetite, tore into balls stuffed with meat.
An orangutan named Sandra also got in on the action, pulling bananas and other favourite fruits from a stocking.
Argentines traditionally set up their Christmas trees on December 8, a national holiday in honour of the Virgin Mary.
