The zoo trys not to feed the animals things that they would not find in the wild
Animals only get fresh fruit and veges. There is a chiller for meat and a chiller for fruit and veges. Some people donate things.
500 x animals cost $5000 per week and the chimp's cost $1000 per week out of that $5000. That's 1/5 so its 20% of the food costs go to the chimps.
