Animals At Dallas Zoo Join In On Halloween Fun: Video

Halloween can be fun for all ages and, apparently, most species. Watch animals at Dallas Zoo romp around with carved pumpkins.

DALLAS, TX — Lions, tigers and pumpkins? That was the scene at Dallas Zoo Tuesday morning as the animals had some Halloween fun of their own. Zookeepers at the Dallas Zoo gave pumpkins to some of their four-legged friends including Bahati, a babay lion, and Ajabu, a baby elephant.

Hippos, meerkats, lions and tortoises were also among the animals who smashed, chewed, munched and altogether enjoyed the carved pumpkins. The zoo tweeted that the occasion was "trick-or-treating Dallas Zoo-style."

It seems everyone agrees that carved pumpkins and Halloween fun go paw-in-paw.
