Loud New Addition To Ellen Trout Zoo
Things have been going on behind the scenes at Ellen Trout Zoo. You might have been able to hear him, but now you will get to see what all that roaring is about. The Ellen Trout Zoo recently had a male tiger transported from the Fort Worth Zoo.
The Ellen Trout Zoo is proud to introduce this new vocal addition to their facility. His name is Angin, pronounced Ahn-yin and rhymes with onion.. Angin is very vocal, thus the roaring, loves scent enrichment. The name Angin means wind in Malay.

North Texas Hippo Picks Chiefs to Win the Super Bowl
Do you agree with Bubbles the Hippo?
Every year around the country. People try to predict the Super Bowl in some weird way. Over at the Fort Worth Zoo, they decided to use their giant hippo named Bubbles. They setup each logo with a bunch of apple slices around them. Whichever logo Bubbles went to, is the winner.
Not sure if Bubbles wasn t hungry or if she didn t notice the apples. It took her 30 minutes to pick a winner, but Bubbles has settled on the Kansas City Chiefs. However, I would not go placing bets on Bubbles prediction. The Fort Worth Zoo has done something like this the past six years with a lot of different animals.
The meal includes a pre-packaged dinner for two and a bottle of wine from Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine.
Food pickup will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, and the virtual event will begin at 7 p.m.
The Fort Worth Zoo is also hosting a similar virtual event to celebrate Galentine s Day on Friday, Feb. 12.
The Galentine s meal includes an appetizer platter and specialty cosmopolitan cocktail from Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine to be picked up from the zoo between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
It also features a calligraphy lesson from professional calligrapher Ragan Mladenovic of Ragan Hope Calligraphy so participants can create a unique piece of Valentine’s Day decor.
Macy’s opening its new concept store in Fort Worth
The first Market by Macy’s opened in Southlake Town Square just before the pandemic began. The Fort Worth store only the second in the U.S. opens Friday.
Macy’s will open its second Market by Macy’s on Friday in a walkable center in Fort Worth’s University District that has a view of Trinity Trails.
The 20,000-square-foot boutique version of the department store is in WestBend, a development on the Trinity River that includes two office buildings and 95,000 square feet of stores and restaurants.
The new store is opening as the retailer said last week that it’s closing 45 department stores, including two local stores in Lewisville and Denton. Market by Macy’s is part of the company’s “off-mall” strategy to be more convenient to neighborhoods and attract new customers.
