Central Park Zoo's Adorable Snow-Covered Animals

If you're gonna have unfortunately-timed snow, at least find a way to embrace it. Like going to the zoo to see the animals! For example, can you find a grizzly bear in this picture?  I headed to the Central Park Zoo around noon, and quickly realized the outdoor animals seem to be taking it in greater stride than we are. It was very peaceful to see them in the main zoo and the Tisch Children's Zoo—most were just resting. I felt bad for the ducks, geese and swans who swam over to me and thought I was going to feed them.
