These Zoo Animals Are Enjoying the Wintry Weather Way More Than You

1010 WINS-There are quite a few animals at Chicago Zoological Society's Brookfield Zoo who don't seem to be too bothered by the plunging temperatures the country has been experiencing lately.

Especially when there are treats (and trees?) involved.

The zoo's bison herd, Amur tigers, polar bear (obviously!), and even the African painted dog pack were treated to repurposed holiday trees, some decorated with delicious and nutritious treats.

With free admission for guests who visit in January and February on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, winter is wonderland at the Brookfield Zoo.
