Fort Worth Zoo rhino Asha enjoys a snow cone made from the Winter weather

In the wild, animals would have no choice but to live outside. And in captivity, many live in climates from their natural habitats.

For example, the Fort Worth Zoo's rhino Asha. Natural rhino habitats are mostly in Africa where they rarely would see the sub-freezing, icy conditions this week. So, Asha has pretty much been staying indoors.


But the zoo keepers brought her a treat, a rhino snowcone. Made with real ice, of course. And they topped it with a little apricot juice for flavor.

She may have eaten some of it but a Fort Worth Zoo Facebook video shows she's mainly nuzzling it with her snout and maybe licking it a little bit. No doubt, snow cones would not be common fare in the wild.
