Franklin Park Zoo in Boston and Stone Zoo in Stoneham have scheduled several events this month. At Franklin Park, highlights include Little Joe the gorilla's 23rd birthday celebration (there will be cake) Feb. 15 and the Animal Mythbusters Program Feb. 16-19, at which children can investigate animal myths and mysteries. That zoo will also host a Leap Day celebration Feb. 27, but it's not your typical leap day: It's all about animals who can really leap, like lemurs and kangaroos. Stone Zoo will host its own school vacation program Feb. 15-19, offering students daily encounters with animals and zookeepers.
