Pumpkin Stomp & Chomp at the Toledo Zoo
January 7, 2020 By Chris B.
Each year the Toledo Zoo staff gets a fresh supply of pumpkins, and we always get asked: “What do you do with all these pumpkins?” The answer is quite simple…we share them with our animals!
On Saturday, January 25 everyone from Lucas, the African elephant to Hue, our white-cheeked gibbon, the meerkats and more will discover the orange fruits in their exhibits during Pumpkin Stomp & Chomp!
Some of the animals will make a meal and others will make a mess but all of them will be using their natural instincts and displaying natural behaviors!
This is a great way to see your favorite animals and our enrichment program in action at the same time!
