The Tulsa Zoo has plans for a wild weekend.

Saturday is Enrichment Day at the zoo where animals will be given fun activities that appeal to their wild instincts.   There will be more than 90 feedings and demonstrations all designed to get the animals thinking.

"It gives them the ability to make choices.  It lets them think about their environment.  They have to think about processes.  They have to think about how solving problems having solutions to get certain treats or toys or food that we give them," said zookeeper Ric Kotarsky.

All the animal action runs between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.
