Did you know that the red colors of foliage are ever-present? During the warm months, green chlorophyll covers the red hue, fading away in Fall when trees stop producing food, revealing the mesmerizing red colors hidden inside.
At the Point Defiance Zoo, animals indulge in autumnal activities by spearing and playing with squashes. This activity, called “enrichment,” involves zookeepers introducing new things for animals to do. One of the attractions is a 2-month-old musk ox named Willow, offering photo opportunities for visitors. Ordinarily, she spends her time headbutting her red ball and splashing in puddles. Recently, she has been into frolicking in the fall foliage. She loves eating other leaves as well, such as Willows, which is her name.
