The Weirdest Wild - A Halloween Show with a "Zoo" Twist

Toronto Zoo Weekly Feature - Wednesday, 2013-10-23 Saturday, October 26th 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm Join us for a truly unique, and chilling, Halloween presentation where we explore the mystery and  symbolism of death. The evening includes a special talk about the weird and wild ways that animals  and plants associate with death. We will also dispel myths on some of the world's deadliest animals  and plants, get to the bottom of how some animals can actually use death to their advantage, and take  you (if you dare) on a tour of our Wildlife Health Centre.
