SEATTLE, WA, 2016-Jun-20 — /Travel PR News/ —
WHAT: It’s a Fourth of July picnic—animal style—for orangutans, grizzlies, otters, and more as Woodland Park Zoo’s animal residents indulge in star-shaped popsicles, watermelon, corn on the cob, and other picnic favorites at Red, White & Zoo June 30 and July 1.
The Fourth of July-themed treats are part of the excellent animal care program at Woodland Park Zoo and the zookeepers’ ongoing efforts to help enrich the lives of the animals, promote natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally and physically stimulated and engage zoo visitors.
