Fresh snow is bliss for Blizzard.
The senior polar bear recently woke up at thePoint Defiance Zoo & Aquariumin Tacoma, Washington, to find his exhibit covered in a new blanket of thick snow.
Some may see snow as a hassle, but 25-year-old Blizzard adores the cold stuff and isn’t afraid to show his enthusiasm. The zoo’s footage of the polar bear in the new snowfall shows that Blizzard loves a full-body snow experience.
In the adorable clip, Blizzard quickly face plants into the fresh snow before spreading his hulking frame flat against the ground. The bear takes a few moments to fully snuggle up with the snow and then flips on his back to make sure it hits all of his hard-to-reach spots.
Blizzard has known colder weather since the day he was born. Twenty-five years ago, Blizzard was found as an orphaned cub in the Arctic tundra near Churchill, Canada. Unable to survive on his own at such a young age, Blizzard was rescued and brought to the Point Defiance Zoo.
Blizzard isn’t the only bear enjoying the winter weather. The pandas of Washington D.C.’s National Zoorecently enjoyed their own snow day, which included lots of sledding.
