Animals at Big Bear Alpine Zoo Enjoy Winter Wonderland as Snow Blankets the Area
As Big Bear welcomes a fresh blanket of snow, it’s not just the human residents who are embracing the winter wonderland. The animals at the Big Bear Alpine Zoo are also enjoying the snowy scene, offering visitors a chance to see them in their natural habitat during the winter season.
Grey wolves Ivan, Bodhi and Loki are seen frolicking in the snow, while snow leopards Asha and Shanti take in the serene surroundings. Harley, the grizzly bear, seems to relish the snowfall as he munches on a snack beneath the gently falling flakes. These animals, along with others at the zoo, provide a unique experience for zoo-goers, offering up-close views of wildlife in a peaceful, snow-covered setting.
The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., inviting guests to explore the snowy landscape and witness these animals interacting with their winter environment. Whether you're visiting to see the playful wolves or enjoy the quiet beauty of the snow leopards, the zoo offers a perfect way to experience nature’s winter charm.
