Warmer temperatures have provided an opportunity for dingoes Maple and Euci to return to their outdoor digs at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. The pups spent most cold weather days in one of the Zoo’s indoor facilities as the pair are still working on getting acclimatized to our winters.

Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager says, “The dingoes will spend portions of the day in their exhibit and return to their indoor facility for evenings and when temperatures drop.”

While the dingoes are busy exploring the outdoors, grizzly bears Mistaya and Koda are still enjoying their winter slumber. 

Mitchell says, “We have seen increased activity from Mistaya and Koda in their den which indicates they are getting close to completing their winter snooze.” He anticipates the pair will be awake and ready to return to the Kinsmen Bear Exhibit in the coming weeks.

The Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and admission is by donation until March 31.
