Zoo officials said they took advantage of this week's predicted warm weather to give the animals access to their outdoor habitat.
Potoka, a 2-year-old male, was so happy that he pranced across the habitat several times. Other members of the herd - including 10-year-old Arnieta, 11-year-old Jasiri and 26-year-old Mithra - also joined.
