Name bread for that special person

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching next Friday.

And if you are looking for an unconventional way to show your love (or hatred), Zoo Boise has only the gift for you!

Each year, Zoo Boise offers its name to a cockroach gesture. For $ 20, you can name one of the Zoo bakers after that special person. You will receive an email certificate and the name will be added to the zoo website.

Some of these cockroaches for 2025 include Pooky, William Heyward McCants, Lil Oreo of Linda and Spider Goblin.

Nothing says eternal love like a cockroach that will outlive us all!

Plow hit a car on the hwy 55

The driver seriously damaged his car as he was trying to pass snowfall earlier this week on the 55 highway.

The black all-terrain vehicle in the photo tried to move from the Idaho transport department to the right, which is big not.

“Plushums pushed snow to the right, creating a movable cloud that limits visibility. Moving under these conditions is extremely dangerous, “ITD said of the crash.

Fortunately, no one was injured. The plow was also not damaged, but the car, on the other hand, was not so lucky.

This marks the fifth car against a plow collision this season.
