TOO COLD? NOT FOR TH E ZOO Detroit Zoo has Wild Winter weekend set for Feb. 6-7 The Detroit Zoo, at Woodward and 10 Mile, isn’t just a warm weather destination. This past weekend’s relatively mild temper­ atures brought visitors out to the zoo. Animals are often more active in winter, making the win­ tertime visits both enjoy­ able and educational. Currently under con­ struction at the zoo is the Polk Penguin Conserva­ tion Center. The center is under construction on a two-acre site just inside the zoo’s entrance and is schduled to open in April. Soon after the zoo’s 80 penguins move into their new home, renovation will begin on the Pengui- narium to turn it into a bat conservation center. Twenty aquatic birds - 10 females and 10 males - arrived in December via FedEx from an aquarium in California and are chilling in a special quar­ antine area at the Pengui- narium. The newest flock joins three other gentoos - the first of their species JULIE BROW N to arrive at the zoo a year Sea otters are among animals at the zoo visible from indoors. ago - as well as the colo­ ny of king, rockhopper and macaroni penguins. A signature feature of the penguins’ new home will be a chilled 326,000- gallon, 25-foot-deep aquatic area with views above and below water as the birds dive and soar. This will allow visitors to observe penguins dive under water - something they would not be able to see in the wild. A Wild Winter week­ end is on tap Feb. 6-7.

Wild Winter activ­ ities take place at the Ford Education Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and are free with zoo admis­ sion. Many zoo animals are active in the colder win­ ter months, including the gray wolves, wolverines, Japanese macaques, tigers, camels, polar bears, arctic foxes and red pandas. The zoo also has many indoor areas to explore, including the Edward Mardigian Sr. River Ot­ ter Habitat, Matilda R.
