Flowers, chocolates, a Hallmark card or a love letter might be great gifts for your Valentine. This year, animals at the zoo will be getting love from their caregivers too.
Saturday, families will have the opportunity to celebrate with the sloth bears, otters, elephants and even the turkey vulture.
Animals will receive treats suited just for them, like heart-shaped ice pops, herbal bouquets and heart shaped steaks.
The snack is a part of Woodland Park Zoo’s on-going enrichment program to help promote natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally stimulated and have fun.
The chow down will start at 10 a.m. with the jaguars. See the complete schedule of animal treat times here.
