The Lion(s) In Winter

I went to the Denver Zoo last week and was surprised to see that the two lion cubs in the photograph above were not only outdoors, but having a good time frolicking in the snow.  I assume that since they were born here and have lived nowhere else, they don't know they aren't supposed to like the cold, kind of like North Dakotans.  And I still say it's a shame that the zoo won't let these cuddly cubs loose to frolic with zoo visitors.  That would really enliven each evening's Zoo Lights event.
