New York Aquarium Residents Get Special Halloween Treats
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The animals at the New York Aquarium are getting in to the Halloween spirit with some tasty treats.
Tazo the sea otter, who made his public debut back in June, was one of many aquarium residents to receive a pumpkin to snack on ahead of the Wildlife Conservation Society's "Ascarium" festivities.
