PHOTOS: Egg-travagant treats for big cats
Park keepers have treated their big cats to seasonal gifts: their very own Easter eggs. To coincide with the U.K.'s West Midland Safari Park’s "Easter Extravaganza" — at which guests can enjoy the spectacle of 50 giant "eggs" dotted around the park — park staff created large papier-mâché eggs for the cats, complete with colorful animal-print patterns. And the park decided to make the season even more EGG-citing, filling some of the eggs with meat for their carnivorous cheetahs Cody and Epezi, as well as Sumatran tigers Hujan and Nakal.
