Mardi Gras at Audubon ZooPossumAnimal Ambassador Animal Enrichment

In New Orleans, opting out of the city’s legendary Mardi Gras celebration isn’t really an option, revelry is everywhere.

Luckily, the animals of the Audubon Zoo aren’t interested in sitting Fat Tuesday festivities out.

If these animals could form a sentence we’d understand, it would probably be, “Laissez les bon temps rouler!”

To ensure the good times roll for everyone, the Audubon Zoo is closed for Mardi Gras but will be open again on Wednesday, Feb 26, for those who can get out of bed after Tuesday’s all-day party.
