Primate keepers at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park provided some themed enrichment for the capuchins to mark Pancake Day.

Head Primate Keeper, Simon Jeffery explained: 'It's very important that our primates have a varied and full diet to provide them with the nourishment that they require to remain healthy. Our capuchins are very partial to these pancakes and they are very healthy -- no sugar, salt or additives.'

Black capped capuchin monkeys are native to South America and are renowned opportunists.  As such, they enjoy a wide and varied diet ranging from fruit to eggs and even insects or bats.
