It was a snow day at Bearizona, and the animals at the zoo took full advantage of the winter wonderland.

A video clip provided by Bearizona and posted on the 3TV Phoenix Facebook page shows bears frolicking through the several inches of snow that fell in the area.

To those who may ask why the bears aren’t hibernating, a Facebook commenter said that Bearizona officials told her during her visit that because the bears are fed regularly, there is no need for them to hibernate.

Instead, the bears got to play in the snow and delight those in attendance.
