Santa's Little Helper!

30 December 2005

It's that time of year again, when the Christmas trees all go up and the jolly old man himself, Santa, prepares for his big trip on Christmas Eve. However, even Santa needs a little extra help at times. After, all many hands make light work (or should that be many paws)!

You might expect to see an elf or a reindeer when you think of Santa's little helpers, but not this year. Here at the Zoo, our gorgeous Alpine Dingo Myndee has taken on the role of helping out Santa! She decides who's naughty and nice, so remember to be on your best behaviour! While Santa was having a much earned lunch break, Myndee decided she was in charge and snuck onto Santa's chair while he wasn't looking.

Well, a very Merry Christmas to you from all the Exotics Department. We hope you all have a safe and happy new year!
