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.

An early March visit to the Prospect Park Zoo was filled with surprises including my spotting one of their red-eyed tree frogs staring right back at me.  The visit was terrific but that one treat made it even more special.  The Prospect Park Zoo has a growing collection that is well worth your time.

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.

The third Sunday in February (tomorrow) means it is another of Central Park Zoo’s Early Birds’ Photo Safari mornings. The last two Sunday morning adventures have been a lot of fun.  Come on over and join me.  If not this Sunday – why not next Sunday, which will be the last in this winter series. The montage below shows you just a small portion of the Zoo’s terrific collection. Don’t forget to enjoy a delightful video of a little dancing goat below today’s montage.

Happy Valentine’s Day (a day early).  Woo at the Zoo is a common theme this year. Lots of snuggling, kanoodling and nesting going on all over the animal world.  See if you can spot two in the animal kingdom who live at Casa Lobo amongst the other furry and feathery faces.  Yes, it is not hard to spot both Madison the cat and Benny the dog.

And don’t forget – today is the second of four early opening hour Sundays for photographers at the Central Park Zoo. Get your tickets at 9 AM at the gate and enjoy the Zoo an hour before opening to capture the beauty of the Zoo’s collection. I’ll be there.
Watch the funny animals in love video below today’s montage.

Yes, more snow fell on the already snow covered Big Apple but at the Central Park Zoo it just gets more fun for the residents (and me).  I never tire of watching our cold weather loving animals romping in the snow. Enjoy this week’s photo montage and don’t forget to watch the delightful time lapse video below by my good friend and my frequent road trip zoo nut, Mary Schwalm .

The Central Park Zoo will open an hour early at 9AM on all four Sundays in February for photographers to have a unique, up-close experience with the Zoo’s collection. Shooting at the zoo is exciting. In one location you will get to see a collection of animals from around the world. Take your time, plan your shots and enjoy the Central Park Zoo animals before the doors open to the public.

In addition to the early entry to the zoo, participants will enjoy an exclusive close-up photo session with one of the animals in the collection.

Photographers will have the opportunity to explore on their own the Tropical Rain Forest as well as the outdoor habitats. The cost is $30 per person and includes a great variety of photographic opportunities for the entire day!  Get your tickets at the Gate when you arrive.

Join me (Gus and Ida the polar bears, Zoe and Chocolate the snow leopards, our nine snow monkeys and more) at the Central Park Zoos’ Early Morning Photography Event in February.

If you have any questions about these special events contact me at judylobo@gmail.com

Photos taken at the Central Park Zoo are for your personal use only.

We are truly having a winter this year in the Big Apple.  I know lots of human are not enjoying the snow but the residents at the Central Park Zoo are having a great time.  Don’t forget to watch Gus the Polar Bear enjoying some fun in the snow below today’s montage.

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!
