When it was snowing sideways on Saturday, the world marveled at the National Zoo’s video of Tian Tian the Panda rolling in the snow. This week, the Maryland Zoo has their own bear clip to show the world.
After clamoring for her appearance all week, Anoki the Polar Bear emerged for some snow time. Winter is a little less foreign to polar bears, so she knew what to do. In the video posted by the Druid Hill Park zoo staff, Anoki gets some exercise:

The snow is also cozy for a polar bear. Another Periscope video posted Wednesday shows Anoki kickin’ it.

Hopefully there will be more. Shoutout to the zoo staffers who stayed overnight through last weekend’s storm to care for the animals.
The videos are a particularly useful window to see what’s going on inside this time of year. Per its winter schedule, the Zoo is closed through Friday.
