Pumpkins, Frankenstein figures and skulls made for an early Halloween treat at California's San Diego Zoo. A pair of 6-month-old jaguar cubs celebrated their first Halloween with jack-o'-lanterns stuffed with a little raw meat and a "bloodsicle." The cubs and their mother spent the morning rolling the pumpkins, finding the treats inside them, and playing tug of war with the orange squash. Three California condors, swooped down to claim their Halloween surprise: rats stuffed inside a mammoth and saber tooth cat skull. And polar bears found great excitement in three Halloween lawn ornaments. The 11-year-old bears tossed them in their pool where they wrestled with their new toys.
