ASHEBORO, N.C. — Polar bears at the North Carolina Zoo got to enjoy the blanket of snow that covered the park Wednesday.

Nikita, 11, and Anana, 18, were fed whole fish as a special snow day treat, the zoo said.

The zoo was closed Thursday and will remain closed Friday because of the heavy snowfall.

Snow Day at NC Zoo!

We'd like to thank our incredibly dedicated and passionate keeper staff who come in every day to care for the animals. Even though the Zoo will be closed through Friday, Jan. 19, here's a sneak peek of some of the North American animals enjoying the snow. #ncwx #snowmageddon2018 #snowpocalypse #snowday
