Z o o L i g h t s c r e a te s tu n n i n g d is p l a y s
The Oregon Zoo is alive with lights this time of year forthe20th-annual
ZooLights festival.This family tradition features nearly a million lights
illuminating life-size animal silhouettes, trees, buildings, walkways and
the zoo train.
New additions include displays featuring black bears, bobcats and
babirusa pigs, which commemorate real-life exhibits opened this year at
the zoo. Conservation is also showcased in lights, w ith new silhouettes
of endangered condors, manatees, a blue-footed booby, and a diorama
that alternates the words "conservation" and “extinction.”
The zoo’s popular costumed characters and elves greet zoo visitors
and pose for pictures and the sounds of the season can be heard over the
course of the festival as more than l(X) schools, churches and profes
sional groups perform holiday musical selections, and are joined by
several local dance troupes.

Sunday through Thursday, and 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.tn. on Fridays and
