It has been a fairly mild winter at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, with the exception of a pretty big snowfall Jan. 7. It was the first snow day for SCBI's newest Persian onager foals, but there are no snow days for the animal keepers who care for these ungulates.
