Snow day at the zoo

Posted by: Rebecca Whitham, Communications

Though the winter storm watch advisory caused the zoo to close early today for visitor and staff safety, the animals did quite well in the snow. They have indoor access and heated areas, but some chose to go out and explore in the snow anyway. It can be quite enriching for them!

Here are some photos we took of the animals in the snow today, some a natural fit for the white-capped scenery, others a departure from the usual snowy scene:


If the snow continues to impact zoo operations, we'll post updates to our website at www.zoo.org. Be safe out there, everyone!
