Belgium’s biggest zoo celebrated Halloween in style, with everything from hippos being fed pumpkins to ghost pandas dancing around the park.
“We also share Halloween with our animals. We present them with pumpkins that are – depending on how they like them – stuffed with proteins, meat, worms or vegetables,” Pairi Daiza Zoo spokesperson Johan Vreys said on Wednesday (30).
“We like to do different things for our animals, keep them a little nervous and interested and stimulated, so we use the pumpkins sometimes just as a wrap and as a challenge to get to their food, just to stimulate them, and pumpkins are a very natural product that many animals can and enjoy eating,” he explained.

“We are very happy that people actually want to come here, to an animal park, to celebrate Halloween,” said Johan Vreys.
Halloween is a party celebrated on October 31st and is increasingly popular in Brazil. During the celebration, which is more common in the United States, people wear costumes and ask for sweets on the streets.
