The Little Rock Zoo promises something a little different on Saturday.
It's celebrating Enrichment Day from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., which gives zoo visitors the chance to watch the animals showcase their natural talents as they interact with enrichment items.
Booths will be scattered throughout the Zoo where visitors can learn more about enrichment and experience the fun of enrichment devices first hand.
Also on Saturday, there's a shower to officially welcome the baby Gorilla born last month.
The shower begins at 11 o'clock and honors mom and dad Sekani and Fossey on the birth of their new baby.
The zoo also wants future visitors to know about the annual Halloween season event Boo at the Zoo. This year's dates are October 19-21 and October 26-31 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. each night. An adults only preview is October 18th. Tickets will be available soon.
