As Arctic air moves south, it's not just pets and people who need protection from the cold.

Wild animals and reptiles in zoos and attractions also need a helping hand.

At Lion County Safari, keepers are moving reptiles, birds and some primates indoors.

Its 17-foot python will be placed in an enclosure with a heat lamp.

Lion Country will also provide extra hay and food for animals because they need extra calories to stay warm.
