Vanimal-tine's Day

Sharing the LOVE!
Saturday, February 12, 2011
Spend the day watching some of your favorite Zoo animals receive some great treats, and see how the Zoo shares the love on this very special day. From 10:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Zoo animals will explore their exhibits and find papier-mâché Valentines filled with species-appropriate treats. It’s a great source of enrichment for the animals, giving them a chance to explore their habitats and use their senses to manipulate objects and engage in naturalistic behaviors.
