Toronto Zoo Winter Buzz

  • http://toronto.ctv.ca/gallery/photo/Toronto-zoo-cold-climate-111216/image0.jpg

    While some of our furry friends head into a deep slumber this time of year, many of the animals at the Toronto Zoo are vivacious and full of life in the dead of winter. This is because their interaction with humans is scarce, as so few decide to trip to the zoo when it's cold. But when they do, they are rarely disappointed, as the zoo is buzzing with activity. CTVNews.ca's Tina Yazdani checked it out for herself.
