Nothing says ‘autumn’ like pumpkin-spiced treats and jumping into a mountain of fallen leaves – which is exactly what zookeepers at ZSL London Zoo arranged for the Asiatic lions.
The playful pride marked the turn of the season by pouncing on a giant pile of colourful leaves, scented with our special blend of warming spices – purrfected with the four felines in mind.
ZSL London Zoo lion keeper Tara Humphrey said: “Just like kids around the country this half-term, Heidi, Indi, Rubi and Bhanu dived right into the massive mound of leaves - scented with cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
“The lions loved using their incredible sense of smell to explore the new aromatic scents in their territory – besides, who doesn’t love a pumpkin spiced leaf pile?”
