Orangutans at the Safari Zoo in Ramat Gan, adjacent to Tel Aviv, are enjoying matzo that is being fed them as the Passover holiday nears, said Safari curator Amalia Turkel. "The fact is, that they are getting a novel food, something new that they haven't tasted for a while, maybe not since last year. For them that's interesting in the short term," she said.

The park has changed the diet of all the animals in order to make sure no leavened bread is in its possession during the seven-day holiday, which begins Saturday night.
