Animals to go Beast Mode at ZOO-PER BOWL on Saturday at Point Defiance Zoo and NW Trek Wildlife Park

Everyone in Seahawks attire gets $5 off adult or senior general admission and $3 off youth or tot general admission.
Here's the schedule of ZOO-per Bowl events for Saturday, Feb. 1:
At both zoos, visitors will see animals receiving Seahawks-themed enrichments, and zookeepers are going to the goal line with their ideas and artistic creations to give animals football, Seahawks and Bronco-themed treats. (Think, for example, tigers going all Beast Mode and tearing into watermelons emblazoned with Broncos' logos. Or polar bears licking Seahawks-colored College Navy and Action Green frosting off of viewing windows).
And how about Northwest Trek animals getting treats of melons and vegetables shaped like football helmets and marshmallow goalposts? And posters filled with information about Seahawks' players and parallels between them (their numbers, their skills) will be displayed in the Cheney Family Discovery Center. The staff at Northwest Trek is Super-creative.
Here's a list of events:
AT POINT DEFIANCE ZOO & AQUARIUM
Our 12th Man Seahawks tree, a popular attraction at Zoolights, continues to shine. Bring a camera and get a picture taken in front of the tree.
Look for Herald the Seahawks Super Dog on walkabouts around the zoo in his Hawks jersey.
- 11:30 a.m. Polar Bear Keeper Talk See our polar bears get into the Seahawks spirit as they enjoy Seahawks' colored blue and green icing. They lap this stuff up.
- 12:30 p.m. Asian Forest Sanctuary Keeper Talk Tiger "brothers" Malayan tiger Berani and Sumatran tiger Dumai will be in the zoo's large Asian Forest Sanctuary "waterfall" exhibit, and they'll get melons with Broncos' logos. Watch them go all Beast Mode and become Bronco busters.
- 1 p.m. Elephant Keeper Talk See our elephants enjoy melon treats. Word has it that there may be some stomping of a Bronco-themed melon.
- 1:30 p.m. Hawk Talk Head over to the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater for a special Close Encounter with our Harris hawk. Hear keepers explain the parallels between predatory birds and Seahawks of the football variety.
