ZOO TALES
“COME WINTER WITH US AT THE NORTH CAROLINA ZOO!”
W
inter is a wonderful season to visit the North Carolina Zoo. As temperatures drop, crowds become smaller, and many of our animals become more active in their habitats. The North Carolina Zoo is open daily in the winter months from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., so it is a great adventure to get the kids out of the house and for friends and family visiting. You’ll find more animals actively roaming their habitats in the cooler weather, such as the bison, elk, American red wolves, and polar bears, and arctic foxes. Be sure to stop by and give a warm welcome to our new grizzly bear, Ronan, who just arrived! Great escapes from the chilly air include our Aviary and Desert dome, both beautiful heated indoor habitats. Both habitats are covered by glass domes
