How are the animals at Dickerson Park Zoo handling the snow?

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Some animals at the Dickerson Park Zoo are enjoying the wintery weather and some aren't. Here's a look at their reactions.

Cali The Mountain Lion, she’s 12.

Most of the animals who can handle snow are given the option to explore.

Hugo the elephant wasn’t a big fan.

Keepers monitor their time outside and make sure they have extra enrichment indoors. For the animals who can’t go out—birds & primates for example—the keepers brought snow inside to them so they could experience it too.
