@pghzoo: Winter storm Fern drove Pittsburgh humans into hibernation when she roared into town on Sunday, upsetting routines and cranking thermostats. The animals at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium weathered the storm well thanks to the care of our dedicated animal care staff. You can read more about what our animals were up to during the snow storm on our website!
