Yahoo Movies Animals Enjoy Patriotic Treats Ahead of July 4th at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo
Animals at Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo received an array of patriotic treats to kick off Independence Day festivities.
In a press release, the zoo said animal care specialists created “red, white, and blue enrichment treats for several of the animals.”
The bottlenose dolphins received a floating flag made of sugar-free gelatin, while some of the zoo’s California sea lions and grey seals enjoyed “Happy 4th of July” cakes made of ice and sugar-free gelatin.
Even the zoo’s two 27-year-old brown bears took part in the festivities with red, white, and blue ice blocks filled with carrots, sweet potatoes, bones, apples, and blueberries.
The zoo will be hosting patriotic-themed performances throughout the weekend, it said. Credit: Lynette Kleisner/CZS-Brookfield Zoo via Storyful
