# The South African National Biodiversity Institute has dismissed social media claims that the Pretoria Zoo urgently needs food for its animals. SANBI clarified that the message began when a Tshwane resident offered to donate branches, which was misinterpreted as an emergency appeal. The zoo confirms there is sufficient food for all animals. Members of the public have been urged to support the zoo through its Adopt-an-Animal programme.
