Saturday's weather was perfect to kickstart Spring Break in the Security Benefit's Children Zoo. While the past few days have been less-than-ideal temperatures, today through the end of the week is forecasted to be excellent weather for the Children's Zoo to be open. Once temperatures reach at least 50 degrees during the day, the Children's Zoo can be open until 4 pm!
The rest of the Topeka Zoo is OPEN DAILY from 9 am - 5 pm, with last admission being sold at 4:30 pm.
For these animals, wearing green isn't just a holiday fashion choice. It's a way of survival! Green is the color of a lot of surroundings in a forest, grassland, marsh, or tropical environment. Blending in comes with perks - smaller creatures can hide easily from predators, and predators can better ambush their prey. In a way, being green (in a variety of shades) is an adaptation that provides better chances at winning nature's high-risk game of hide and seek.
