Oregon Zoo Animals Frolicking in Snow Make National News

Portland, OR. Cougars, black bear and river otters explored the Oregon Zoo, which was transformed by the winter storm. Videos of their adventures were a big hit with viewers on ABC, CNN and dozens of other news outlets.

The zoo was closed for several days, but it’s open again. Because of the snow, parking is limited, so guests are encouraged to take MAX.

I’ve been a professional journalist and writer since 1987, (and long-time reporter for KOIN-TV.) As a nationally published reporter, with a Master’s Degree in Journalism, I love to report positive news and information. Journalism has also connected me with another non-profit where I served as a leader; the Northwest’s biggest writer’s organization: The Willamette Writers.
