Animals in the Snow!

The Bronx Zoo animals have been frolicking in the city's first substantial snow. Here are some photos of the furry ones, including a few shots of the adorable snow leopards. (You're welcome.) In other Bronx Zoo news: José the beaver is back for the holidays, after a year-long hiatus; they say he's even "chomped down his own Christmas tree."

Damn Nyrangers, what's your problem? I wouldn't have seen these pictures if I didn't come to this site, and I'm glad I did. Did you see that snow leopard's tummy? It's so cute.

Just another reason for all you to convert over to the fandom of the Philadelphia Flyers. Boo-yah, Merry Christmas.

Although I hate snow, I do love seeing my puppies transform into "snow puppies" each winter.

unless you went down to the zoo yourself and waited around and snapped these pictures in the cold, why are you saying "youre welcome"? it sounds very bratty. did you trek all the way in the snow to the zoo website?
