8 Zoo Animals Enjoying Halloween's Sweet Treats
Kids may be heading out for candy Halloween night, but these zoo animals show costumes aren't required for fun treats.

Kids are adorable on Halloween. They get dressed up in creepy or cute costumes. For one night, they're a lil' firemen or princesses.
But zoo animals give the cutest kids a run for their money on Halloween. Some animals eat their way through a pumpkin, while others play with it like a ball. The smallest will use it like a jungle gym.
Below, you'll find some zoo animals having a blast this Halloween.
