Snow Day at Brookfield Zoo

Several of the animals at Brookfield Zoo took advantage of a classic "Snow Day" on Wed., Feb. 10, 2010. Whirl, a 2-year-old Amur tiger played with some of her enrichment items in her yard and enjoyed running around and lying in the snow. And, Hudson, a 3-year-old polar bear, jumped into his pool, breaking through the ice with ease.

Winter is a wonderful time to visit Brookfield Zoo and to witness these animal moments. The Snowball Express shuttle bus takes visitors from exhibit area to exhibit area free of charge. Admission to the zoo is free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, through February.

As I recall, she lost her tail because it was injured during some rough play with her siblings when she was a cub.

When polar bears get wet, it looks like they've been carved out of butter.

I had never seen a tiger by myself till last week , which I got to see a real tiger in a zoo in India. I can just say they're very huge! Much bigger than lions!
