Safari Park in Isreal Puts Animals on Kosher Diet

Richard Longoria

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - A safari park in Israel has changed its animals' diet in preparation for the Jewish Passover, which starts on Saturday.

The eight-day Passover begins on Saturday, but officials at Ramat Gan Safari in Tel Aviv have already made the zoo kosher for
the holiday. So instead of foods made with flour, the orangutan are being fed unleavened bread, or matzo.

Safari curator Amalia Turkel says the orangutans appear to enjoy the novelty.

Passover commemorates the Jewish people's Biblical exodus fromn Egypt to the promised land.
