As winter settles in and temperatures drop, the animals at the Little Rock Zoo are far from slowing down. While the season may bring a chill to the air, our dedicated team works hard to ensure that every animal stays comfortable, healthy, and engaged throughout the colder months. From specially designed enclosures to seasonal dietary adjustments, we make sure our animals, whether cold-loving or more temperature-sensitive, have everything they need to thrive.
