As I send out this Sunday ‘While at the Zoo’ photo montage it is raining buckets in Manhattan. My dog Benny braved his morning walk and is now rolling around on the rug attempting to dry himself off. When the rain stops come visit the Central Park Zoo to see our Patagonian baby Cavy, featured in today’s montage at one day old. While you are visiting don’t forget to see our snow leopards, two red pandas, baby ibis chick, Gus our popular polar bear and a fabulous collection of birds.

The four California sea lions (Scooter, April, Katie and Edith) at the Central Park Zoo never fail to dazzle the crowds with their daring do, acrobatics and just plain fun. Come visit and see them at their best at their three feeds – 11:30, 2 and 4 each day.
Don’t forget to check out our now three year old Katie when she was just a pup (2008) at the Bronx Zoo below today’s photo montage.

The Central Park Zoo has successfully hatched eight critically endangered Chinese merganser ducklings — a first for any North American zoo. The eight ducklings were hatched, April 26, 2011. The zoo has two breeding pairs of Chinese mergansers, a species of sea duck found in eastern Asia. The Central Park Zoo maintains the largest public collection of sea ducks and the only zoo-kept Chinese Mergansers in North America. This great zoo news was everywhere this week.

Zoo #6 of our ‘Six Zoos in Six Days‘ zoo-cation was the Brookfield Zoo. It has over 216 acres of habitats with a lot of walking between exhibits. Did I mention how hot it was? Despite the heat we had a fine visit. They have one sensational interactive polar bear that kept our attention. Hope you enjoyed this six zoo-cation as much as we did. We are already planning our next adventure.

Six Zoos in Six Days – this year’s zoo-cation was a delight. My plan is to send out one montage per day for the next six days. Our first stop was to the NEW ZOO in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Why the NEW ZOO you ask? The Central Park Zoo‘s snow monkey, Manny, moved to Green Bay a few years ago. Manny, now 10, sired two adorable babies and we just had to go visit him and the new arrivals. He is surrounded by nine females and seems to be in monkey heaven. The zoo keepers were very generous with their time and we had a terrific visit. For more info on these two new arrivals you can read from their website here.
