Visit the Central Park Zoo from Memorial Day through July 4th to witness a garden of pure color and delight. Our Central Garden will be filled with hundreds of roses, including English, Damask, Bourbon, Hybrid Tea’s and Shrubs. Come early and often as the flowers bud and blossom throughout the weeks. While you are smelling the flowers you cannot help but adore our newest sea lion pup, 11 month old Edith (seen above). She shares the sea lion pool with Katie, April and Scooter.\

No trip away from home is complete without a stop at a new Zoo. Last week while enjoying the flowers, art and chocolate of Belgium and the Netherlands we stopped in at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. We had an Amsterdam good time.
Happy Mother’s Day -2011 May 8, 2011

My mother is long gone but her advice, warnings and general ‘Lili-isms’ live on in my daily life. She taught me to fight the good fight, to write letters to City Hall when I was pissed (her time was way before blogging) and she also gave me my moral compass (one glance from Lillian told me instantly whether my behavior was acceptable or not – I got a lot of glances). My sister Terry and I remember many of our childhood events differently but we both agree that our mother was a pistol. Here’s to Lillian Wolfe and all of the other mothers out there.
A very Happy Mother’s Day to all of the caregivers, nurturers, pamperers, surrogates and generally loving coddlers out there. You make it all work.

A fun trip south to the Philadelphia Zoo did not disappoint. We went specifically to visit Baby Batu the orangutan but found instead, two week old baby Leo, a white-handed gibbon clinging tightly to his mother. Across from little Leo was another cute new arrival – a baby sifaka. Seeing baby Batu would have been a trifecta so we settled for a delicious daily double. Don’t forget to check out two battling Naked More Rats and my favorite video of the Giant Otters below.

Rabbits were aplenty at the Catskill Region Rabbit Show in Rhinebeck NY last Saturday. We had never seen so many rabbits. To name a few: Himalayans, Belgian Hares, Flemish Giants, Holland Lops, Giant Chinchillas, Dwarf Hotots, Harelquins, Thriantas and more. Enjoy this seasonal photo montage.
That’s All Folks!

Spring has sprung and the Central Park Tisch Children’s Zoo has a leaping lamb and an air born baby goat or two (actually five). Come visit. Bring your smile and your camera. It’s lots of fun and it won’t last long as they grow up very quickly.

Spring has sprung and the Central Park Zoo is lively and fun. Come see another new baby mini-nubian goat named Barbara Rose and two adorable baby lambs. If your timing is right you will also be able to see our male snow leopard, Bo, who made his public debut last week.

Six week old King, the little mini-nubian goat kid, now resides at the Queens Zoo. He is adorable and well worth a trip out to this beautiful space filled with amazing animals.

Who doesn’t love baby animals? Quadruple that idea and come see four adorable mini-nubian baby goat kids at the Central Park Tisch Children’s Zoo. They grow up really fast so plan your visit soon.

Tomorrow, February 27 is the final Sunday for the Central Park Zoo’s early morning hour for photographers. We have all had a blast and you still have time to join me tomorrow. These photos of the snow monkeys enjoying some hot tub hijinks were taken last Sunday during the morning’s session for photographers.
