POCATELLO — Admission to Zoo Idaho will be free Saturday.
“We’re extremely proud of the animals and our efforts at Zoo Idaho,” said Zoo Superintendent Peter Pruett in a news release Thursday. “We want everyone to stop in and see what we’ve been telling everyone who will listen about. How often can you get within inches of a grizzly bear or within feet of a mountain lion?”
Zoo Idaho is an indigenous species zoo, housing numerous orphaned or injured animals from the region who would have likely not survived in the wild.
It has more than 100 animals on display and 30 exhibits. Visitors can experience bears, bison, mountain lion, deer, and elk as well as smaller animals like raccoons, fox, and badgers. The zoo also houses birds like eagles, falcons and turkeys.
