Monkeys celebrate Chanukah

Monkeys in Israel celebrating the Jewish festival, Chanukah with seasonal toys. The Israeli zoo Monkey Park in Kfar Daniel gave monkeys a chance to celebrate Hanukkah by distributing dreidels, or spin tops, to the monkeys. "We try and give them different kinds of enrichments every few days to make their life more interesting," said Tamar Fredman of Monkey Park. "We thought as it's Hanukkah now and there is a tradition of playing with spin tops, we thought maybe the monkeys would enjoy playing with it. Instead of spinning the toys, the monkeys look more interested in breaking them open to get to the special treat inside.
