Original Toronto Star caption: Sunny skies brought out the cross-country ski enthusiasts is droves to the Metro Zoo trails during the Christmas school break; but it was difficult to determine who was having the most fun - they or the zoo residents. The outsides of enclosures were crowded as skiers took a break to watch the animals; particularly the polar bears; Siberian tigers and lions; frolic in the snow. This was the scene yesterday as everyone's camera clicked.
