Captive Santa Breeding Program

There is only one known breeding Santa in the wild. Sightings are most common during the December 24 evening, but very little else during the rest of the year. Because of this, a captive breeding program for Santas was developed many decades ago. During the December month, these captive Santas are put on display to celebrate the success of the program. Faux habitats mirroring their natural habitats are festooned in red, green, and gold and pop-up in many malls and department stores. The wild Santa has a vey shy and elusive nature. The captive bred have those traits substituted with those that make it more appealling to the general populace. The Santa are usually very skittish and are want to scurry up a chimney if it knows its being watched. The Santas at these urban locations are more docile and very willing to interact with kids.

Sadly, the inhabitant of this enclosure was not present during the taking of this picture. Due to the cannibalistic diet of bad girls and boys, the Santa is hidden away during feeding time so as not to frighten small children.
