Hop Into Zoo April 24 & See Animals Receive Colored Eggs on Easter SundayDenver, CO (April 19, 2011) - On Easter Sunday, April 24, Denver Zoo visitors can see numerous animals enjoying colored eggs including mongoose, red river hogs, polar bears, arctic foxes, river otters, gorillas, mandrills and more!
Hard-boiled eggs are a part of the specially-planned diets of several of the zoo's animals, and on Easter Sunday, to get into the holiday spirit, several of the zoo's animals will receive brightly colored Easter eggs! Zookeepers will place the colored eggs throughout the habitats so that the animals have to forage for their food, and of course crack open the colorful shells.
