C an't take a trip to Fort Lauder
dale. Palm Springs or Hawaii for
spring break? Why not "go wild”
with pygmy goats or party with a
pachyderm or polar bear. It’s all
happening at the zoo during the
first annual Zoo’s Gone Wild cel
ebration. March 2 1-28.
The zoo animals will enjoy tropi-
cal-themedenrichment activities and
treats several times throughout each
day, such as polar bears breaking
open ice treats, meerkats digging
bugs out of coconut shells and oran
gutans trying on Hawaiian shirts.
The zoo is internationally re
nowned for its environmental en
richment programs. Enrichment is
designed to mentally stimulate ani
mals by changing their environ
ment. The activities also challenge
animals with complex tasks that
require problem solving.
The zoo opens at 9 a.m. daily and
is located five minutes from down
town Portland, just off Highway 26.
The zoo is also accessible by MAX
light rail line. General admission is
$9, with seniors $7.50 and children
$6; kids under 3 are free. Additional
information is available on the zoo's
Web site at www.oregonzoo.org or
