It’s been getting merrier at ZooTampa at Lowry Park.
The elephants waved Christmas Trees in the air.
A violinist serenaded a group of dancing children with a rendition of “Jingle Bells.”
These were some of the scenes at Christmas in the Wild, the zoo’s special ticketed event that runs on select nights the rest of December.
This year, Christmas in the Wild features 500,000 lights and more than 200 decorated trees.
The Zoo’s event now in its ninth year is expected to draw 130,000 people from the Tampa Bay region, Sarasota and Manatee counties, and as far away as Orlando.
