NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To celebrate Wildlife Conservation Day, Yowie Chocolate, a popular Australian chocolate brand with a mission to preserve the natural world, and 7-Eleven are teaming up with the renowned Dallas Zoo to deliver sweet treats for the animals and visitors alike.
On Dec. 4, the annual Wildlife Conservation Day, Yowie will deliver enrichment items for several of the Zoo’s animals. The enrichment items encourage the animals’ natural curiosity and increase engagement in their environment. It’s also a lot of fun for visitors to see the animals interact with the devices.

Yowie strives to bring attention to the plight of wild animals while connecting kids to their mission of preservation through a premium milk chocolate treat. Inside each Yowie chocolate is a limited-edition collectible animal figurine and a leaflet that profiles the animal, its habitat, food sources and threats to the animal and its environment.
Visitors to the Dallas Zoo on Dec. 1 will also get to experience Dallas Zoo Lights Presented by Reliant, a special holiday celebration with more than one million twinkling lights that starts after the animals head in for the evening.
