Animals at zoos and parks have been feasting upon specially-prepared zongzi – a traditional Chinese rice dumpling – to welcome Duanwu, or the Dragon Boat Festival. They are unique snacks made from the animals' favorite food and fruit, and wrapped with leaves. A zoo employee has said eating zongzi can prolong the animals' feeding time and encourage more exercise, which is beneficial for their health. | China Plus Culture
