Earlier this week, we announced the exciting arrival of two Amur tiger brothers – Lewis and Clark!

Following their arrival, the brothers have adapted quickly and can be seen chasing each other, attempting to climb trees, and exploring different features of their habitat while playing together in the snow.

Take a moment to watch these two in action, and don’t miss out on meeting them in person by visiting the Zoo soon! To plan your winter trip, visit https://www.columbuszoo.org/winter

This past weekend, Central Ohio was blanketed with heavy snowfall, with some areas receiving more than a foot of snow! While some animals decided to remain in their indoor habitats to watch the flurries, the animals in North America Trek and Polar Frontier were built for it.

As a reminder, the Columbus Zoo will remain CLOSED through Sunday, February 1 due to the low temperatures. In the meantime, learn more about how animals at the Zoo experience winter in this blog: https://www.columbuszoo.org/blog/where-do-columbus-zoo-animals-go-winter-theyre-closer-you-may-think
