Roll Over, Rudolph

Alecia Foster

A handful of reindeer are taking a break from the colder temperatures

of the north to bask in California sunshine. The Los Angeles Zoo will

play host to several reindeer in the temporary exhibit, "Reindeer Romp."

Besides live reindeer, children and adults can see a display of reindeer

antlers and learn how the antlers shed and grow back each year. The

animals will be on display at the zoo through Jan. 1. The zoo will also

have crafts and holiday entertainment every weekend from Dec. 1 through

24. Zoo visitors will also be able to ride the Los Angeles Zoo Choo Choo

for a small fee. For more information, call the zoo at (323) 644-6400.
