The annual "Winter Zoo Festival" was held at Kushiro City Zoo, and many parents and children enjoyed sledding and making snow sculptures.
This event is an annual winter event that is held every year at Kushiro City Zoo when the number of visitors is low.
In Kushiro City on the 31st of last month, the temperature at 10 am when the zoo opened was chilled to minus 6.8 degrees Celsius, but it was sunny from the morning and the bright voices of the children who seemed to blow away the cold were clear blue sky. It echoed below.
Of these, at the sled corner, the staff skated vigorously on the slopes of a snowy mountain about 2 meters high and about 30 meters long made by collecting snow.
In addition, a mini snow sculpture was also made, and the visiting parents and children made a snow sculpture of their choice by soaking it in water and solidifying the sleet-shaped snow.
An 8-year-old boy who participated in making a snow sculpture said, "I made a panda because there are no pandas in the zoo. I devised it while looking at the images on the Internet."
