Animals at Woodland Park Zoo pose with Sounders FC soccer balls

Woodland Park Zoo 1110

If you thought you were pumped for Sounders FC's playoff match on Monday, you might want to check out what the animals at Woodland Park Zoo have been up to.


The zoo released a photo gallery of its grizzlies and otters playing with Sounders FC soccer balls, and you may not see a cuter gallery in your life. The grizzly bears deflated the balls with ease, but that's just because they are overexcited for Monday's match.

Visit the zoo's blog to see the full gallery.
