Animals enjoy snow day at Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
Dan Speicher | Tribune-Review
Vehicles make their way slowly down Rt. 66 near the intersection of Route 22 in Delmont as heavy spring snow blankets Westmoreland County on Wednewday, March 21, 2018.
While most of us looked out our windows with disappointment at the snowfall this morning, not everyone was upset.
Animals at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium seemed overjoyed to see the snow.
The zoo's penguins and red panda were captured sliding and playing in the snow Wednesday afternoon.
The zoo was closed to visitors, but officials said staff was there.
For the safety of our animals, visitors, and staff, the Zoo will be closed today (Wednesday, March 21) because of snowy weather conditions. Don't worry, animal care staff always comes in, rain or shine (or snow!). ❄️ #zooforall pic.twitter.com/U1QvvI5Z7d
