1 / 4   Every year, several days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, zookeepers across China would feed animals with special "Mooncakes" to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The traditional holiday treat is often served with ingredients like carrots, nuts, grass as well as fruits. Chinese have the tradition to eat moon cakes which usually are made with sweet red beans or lotus-seed paste filling during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on Sept. 24 this year. /VCG Photo
