New armatures this year include a herd of bison, a cougar, a gorilla, a one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-people-eater, a variety of sea creatures and illuminated “light boxes” showcasing animal artistry throughout the Zoo and many, many more!

It takes the crew approximately 5 months to install ZooLights.
