OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (KOCO) — Animals at the Oklahoma City Zoo are getting a chance to cool off and enjoy something a little different this holiday.

On Thursday, guests got to see some of the zoo’s wildlife enjoying bubble baths, themed snacks and more. The goal with the enrichment activities was to give the animals the same opportunities as they would get in the wild.

“We provide enrichment for our animals every single day of the year. But today, because it’s the holiday, we took a little bit of a theme with that and tried to make it a little fun by incorporating July 4th and red, white and blue theme,” Kimberly Leser, animal behavior and welfare manager at the Oklahoma City Zoo, said.
