The Johannesburg Zoo is browsing for leaves and pruned tree leaves. Maintaining a normal diet and providing enrichment to the animals is important to the zoo. Many of the zoo residents enjoy a good browse and some of them are big feeders. As such, the zoo needs to maintain a healthy stockpile for them to enjoy as part of their regular enrichment.
The Johannesburg Zoo would appreciate the following pruned trees which include:
- Sickle bush tree
- Tamboti
- Knot tree
- Bush willow
- Buffalo thorn
- Mulberry
- White stinkwood
- Rhus Lance
- False olive
For further information, the public can call Piet Malepa 082 437 0266; Philemon Magoba 067 055 0002; Richard Shirinda 078 540 2043.
