The lure of freshly fallen snow and seeing three eight month old tiger cubs frolicking was too much for us to ignore. So we hopped up to the Bronx Zoo yesterday and had a snow-sational time. Don’t forget to watch the tiger cub video below today’s snow montage. Zootastic!

It was a big and beautiful snowfall on December 27th (as long as you did not have to shovel or drive). The Central Park Zoo was closed for one day as the hard and hearty zoo workers dug out the zoo environs. The zoo reopened on the 28th and the animals went wild in the freshly fallen snow. It was zootastic! Don’t forget to watch two snow videos below today’s montage.

I continue my tradition of ending the year with a look from ‘behind’. It was a zoo-sational year for a zoo nut like me. Along with some of my like minded zoo pals we were able to visit new zoos and places around the country and thanks to many wonderful new friends get some amazing behind the scenes access. If you missed some of the visits, check out my photos from the Everglades, the Palm Beach Zoo, the Miami Metro Zoo, Flamingo Gardens, the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo, The Akron Zoo, The Toldedo Zoo, The Erie Zoo, The Pittsburgh Zoo and a personal favorite there, the Polar Bear Plunge, The Columbus Zoo, The Louisville Zoo, The Cincinnati Zoo and the best Insect House anywhere, The Newport Aquarium, Pittsburgh’s National Aviary, the always wonderful San Francisco Zoo, a very worthwhile VIP tour of Six Flags Wild Safari, Southwick’s Zoo, Whale and Dolphin watching, out of Gloucester, MA, the Cape May Zoo, the Raptor Trust, the Philadelphia Zoo, and of course home base, the Central Park Zoo where we all met the newest residents, the Mountain Coatis, Lobo, Lev and Wolfie . I am looking forward to new Zoo adventures in 2011. Don’t forget to watch Gus, the polar bear enjoying some snow in my video below.

Winterfest at the Central park Zoo is new. And what fun it is. You still have one more weekend to enjoy the festivities. There are pretty lights, delightful music, goodies to eat, presents for the penguins (fishcicles) snow leopard and polar bears. Friday was extra special because Gus, our celebrated polar bear turned 25. To view these photos larger go here. Don’t forget to watch a short video of the Central park Zoo’s snow monkeys getting some holiday treats last year below the photos.

We made a special trip to the Philadelphia Zoo to visit thirteen month old Baby Batu, the sweetest orangutan. We had seen this adorable baby when she was one month old and could not resist revisiting her as she begins to grow up. If you want to see these photos larger click here. Check out my photos from one year ago if you would like to see Baby Batu as an infant here.
Don’t forget to watch the 44 second video of Baby Batu that I took last week directly below this week’s photo montage.
