Moscow Zoo has asked visitors to bring sunflowers for monkeys to diversify their diet and to make them demonstrate their natural behavior, the Zoo press service said.
"Animals need to demonstrate natural behavior, to show how they get good in the wild. And if we simply feed them seeds, corn seeds or nuts, we deprive the animals of the opportunity to dig out the seeds, to break the sunflower or to look for seeds in a fragrant tarry cone - and this is such pleasure for them," the press service said.
