Snow joke for confused zoo animals

200x190.jpg
While the recent snow seemed to take many people by surprise, few were more baffled than animals a UK zoos.

Creatures from countries which would never normally experience heavy snowfall were suddenly presented with inches of snow.

But at least the animals weren't as wimpy as one in five UK workers who claimed they couldn't make it into the office.

These elephants from Twycross Zoo even seemed to put on a dance performance proving that there's snow business like show business.
The chimps from the Leicestershire based zoo also seemed to enjoy making snow balls - but rather than throwing them, they simply looked bemused when they melted in their hands.  

"The chimps find the snow quite amazing and collect large handfuls of snow and then take the ball of snow in doors but they are quite bemused when it dissolves," said zoo spokesperson Kim Riley.

"They started looking at the other chimps in their group to see who has taken the ball of snow."
