Christmas in July
Now
the Zoo is spreading that Yuletide spirit throughout the year with
the debut of Christmas in July! Watch some of your favorite Zoo
animals open papier-mâché “gifts” stuffed
with species-appropriate treats that jolly old St. Nick has left
in their habitats.

naturalistic behaviors as the animals interact with their habitats.
