Kody and Cooper, North American grizzly bears at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, were out playing Thursday, oblivious to the subzero wind chills. The cold is certainly not a big story to the grizzlies, but in these bitter cold temps, the zoo makes accommodations, even for these winter lovers.

“We go to great extents to make sure there’s heated spaces, and some of our spaces even have heated floors,” explained the zoo’s animal curator, Travis Vineyard.

The Siberian tigers, much like the grizzlies, were out in the cold, showing very little interest in slipping inside. One of the tigers was even stretched out in a snow bank, taking a mid-morning nap.

Vineyard was not surprised.

“They have a sheltered space, but they prefer to be out here, where they are more comfortable,” he said.
