Turkey time is upon us, and the Woodland Park Zoo is treating the animals to their very own Thanksgiving feast with Turkey Toss on Saturday, Nov. 17. Animals such as komodo dragons, leopards, and grizzlies will get their paws on raw, store-prepared turkeys or other “autumn-themed treats.”

The event, sponsored by Chevron, is part of the zoo’s effort to, “help enrich the lives of the zoo’s animals. The activities help encourage natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally and physically stimulated and engage zoo visitors,” according to the zoo.
