Zoo LED lights are “stunning”

A US Zoo will soon unveil new animal light displays which feature LED bulbs.

ZooLights, at Oregon Zoo, has added some new illuminations to its traditional light show.

This year many of the displays feature LED lights and visitors will notice some new additions including dinosaurs and unicorns.

Familiar displays are returning for this year’s event including those based on the Wizard of Oz and stories by the Brothers Grimm.

A roaring lion has also been added to the show for the zoo’s Predators of the Serengeti event which launches next year.

Tony Vecchio, zoo director, stated that the new LED light displays are likely to impress visitors.

“Every year, the zoo presents a stunning display of light and colour,” he said.

“I know many people in our community eagerly anticipate ZooLights, and look forward to seeing the many new touches we add each year.”

The zoo first began collecting different species in the 1800s when a local chemist began caring for animals that had been brought from overseas.
