CHICAGO (CBS) – Some Brookfield Zoo animals celebrated Valentine's Day with treats prepared by members of their care staff Wednesday.

The treats were shaped into hearts, with some spelled out to say, "Sealed with a kiss" and "Home sweet home."

A Hoffmann's two-toed sloth received a heart-shaped sweet potato.
