Adorable animals take over Wrigley Field before Cubs-Brewers game
Adorable animals take over Wrigley before Cubs game
Like a real life "Jumanji," a bevy of wild animals took to Wrigley Field before the Cubs took on the Brewers on Tuesday. The only difference being that the Cubs invited the animals onto the field and it wasn't the result of a terrifying board game that never should have existed.
The Shedd Aquarium and the Columbus Zoo teamed up to bring the wildlife to see the Friendly Confines. Which included a leopard looking adorable in Anthony Rizzo's arms:
