The rangers at the park, who work every day over the Xmas period including Christmas Day, were spotted giving out delicious treats and toys for the animals earlier this week.
The team, dressed in Santa hats, delivered extra portions of fruit and vegetables in boxes to the meerkats and armadillos. Here are some of the best pictures:
