Zoo Animals Are Having A Blast Playing In The Snow

There’s something about a snow day that warms up our hearts. Due to a snowing blizzard the Oregon Zoo was forced to take a snow day and close the facility to the public. Though visitors couldn’t make it to the park, animals needed to be fed so several zookeepers skied their way into the park. What they saw, and filmed, upon arrival has gone viral overnight.Show more
