Employees at the Fort Worth Zoo are taking extra precautions this week to ensure the safety of their animals amid snow and freezing temperatures.

As winter weather hits North Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo is taking special measures to ensure the safety of its animals. Despite experiencing snow, rain, sleet and freezing rain, the zoo staff are diligently working to keep the animals warm and secure.

In the wake of the 2021 winter storm that left a third of the Dallas Zoo without power, officials have implemented a series of measures to enhance its preparedness for the winter weather expected to grip North Texas Thursday and Friday.
