A valentine that will "smelt" a river otter's heart -- a smelt and fruit juice heart-shaped ice pop! Woodland Park Zoo's river otters and a host of other animals will be treated to Valentine's Day-themed ice pops, herbal bouquets and more on Saturday, Feb. 12, 10 am-3 pm
The Woodland Park Zoo invites people to take their dates over to the zoo this Valetine's weekend as the animals will celebrate Valentine’s Day the wild way.
While we eat chocolates, the otters, red pandas, gorillas, snow leopards, and more will enjoy heart-shaped fruit juice ice pops, herbal bouquets, or heart-shaped steaks.
The special treats are part of the zookeepers’ ongoing enrichment program to help enrich the lives of the zoo’s animals, promote natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally stimulated and engage zoo visitors.
Animals will be receiving their treats at different times on Saturday, Feb 12, starting at 10:00 a.m. and
