BROOKFIELD, Ill. (WLS) -- Spring is in the air, and we're not the only ones enjoying the nicer weather!
The giraffes at Brookfield Zoo got a chance to go outside and stretch their legs at Habitat Africa! The Savannah on Thursday, according to zoo officials.
The herd - Potoka, Arnieta, Ato and Jasiri - certainly seemed to have a great time in the fresh air.
