According to scientists, animals have a need to play and its fun to play in the snow. Animals don’t only enjoy playing, its key to their survival. Animals who play have a much greater chance of survival and reproducing than animals that don’t. Scientists even believe that the need for play in animals (including humans) is almost hard wired in the same way that we have a need for sleep.
So if you have a white Christmas this year, get out and play and let your animals enjoy a wintry romp too.
