Скачать или смотреть Tropic World: Africa Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day!

Today for St. Patrick’s Day the primates in Brookfield Zoo’s Tropic World: Africa were definitely seeing green!

Animal care staff dyed the river and waterfall with green food coloring in the Angolan colobus and red-tailed guenon’s exhibit.
The gorillas’ habitat was decked out in green-colored wood wool, which they use as bedding. They also received nutritious shamrock-shaped treats made of ground monkey chow, oatmeal, wheat germ, flaxseed, bananas, unsweetened applesauce, and peanut butter topped with green-dyed yogurt, which they seemed to thoroughly enjoy. Animal care staff also gave them green-colored applesauce and gelatin jiggles.
