"This was a special day for the polar bears, and I could tell they really loved it," zookeeper Susan Purtell said. "It was great seeing them roll around in the snow, showcasing their natural behaviors."
Zookeepers said they hid treats in the snow to encourage the polar bears, which haven't seen snow in years, to emulate their wild cousins by digging in the winter wonderland.
