....Zoo animals celebrate the season....

By Robinson Newspapers Staff

The Woodland Park Zoo is offering Seattle residents the opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping and join the animals at this year’s Winter Celebration.

Grizzlies, otters, elephants and more will enjoy holiday-themed treats, such as wreaths trimmed with fish or assorted fruit, evergreen trees with ornamental fruit or wrapped boxes containing favorite snacks.

Winter Celebration is part of the zoo’s ongoing program to help enrich the lives of the zoo’s animals, promote natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally and physically stimulated and engage zoo visitors.
