Milwaukee Zoo Animals Adjust to the Cold

Nama wanted to go outside and romp around in the snow Monday, but because it was so cold he was kept indoors.  So the Milwaukee County Zoo's cheetah registered his displeasure by loudly chirping and whining. To no avail. His keeper Jessica Munson knows his fur isn't thick enough and his foot pads would quickly freeze to the frozen ground.  Join the club, Nama.  "It's for his own benefit," said Munson, echoing countless parents who kept their children inside as dangerously frigid weather closed schools throughout southeastern Wisconsin on Monday. While humans hunkered down indoors to avoid the cold, animals also changed their routines.
