Fall is a great time to visit the Central Park Zoo. The leaves are beautiful and the temperate animals are more active than ever. Check out Ida the polar bear as she plays with one of her toys.  You can also ooh and ah at our four adorable Banded Mongoose babies and four Dwarf Mongoose babies.  Don’t forget to walk up the hill to see our gorgeous Snow Leopards, Red Panda and Snow Monkeys.

While at the Central Park Zoo do not forget to go upstairs in the Tropic Zone. It is a happening spot.  Along with the always delightful Mountain Coatis (Lobo, Zev and Wolfie) you can also see African Banded and Dwarf Mongoose with four babies in each exhibit.  Come quickly – they re growing rapidly.  Also catch our new Saki Monkeys who reside with two Silvery Marmosets. Don’t forget to catch the magnificent Eurasian Eagle Owl too.  If you want to see these photos larger go to here.

A trip to the West Coast is not complete without a visit to the always terrific San Francisco Zoo.  While at the Zoo we were treated to some unforgettable behind the scenes action courtesy of a wonderful Zoo Docent and some very patient Keepers. Thanks to all for their time and thoughtfulness.  If you want to see the photos larger go to www.judithwolfe.com.

I was taken in by their delightful Emperor Tamarins and made this short video:

I love to visit the Oakland Zoo when I am on the West Coast.  It is always fun, the hills give you a great workout and there are always lots of wonderful animals to view and adore. If you want to see the photos larger click here.

 

Check out the video I made at the Oakland Zoo in 2007.  It has been viewed over 30,000 times.

The Central Park Zoo formally debuts its newest residents (and I think the cutest).  Feast your eyes on the adorable Mountain Coatis named Lobo, Zev and Wolfie.

No – it is not Sunday, do not go back to sleep.  It is Monday but Time Warner has crashed in my area and there is no Internet or TV since Saturday morning.  So, I am positing this away from Casa Lobo.  Our trip to the Bronx Zoo was filled with delightful visions including six tiger cubs, growing lion cubs and the always sensational bear cubs.

Introducing my namesakes, Lobo, Zev and Wolfie, three adorable four month old baby Mountain Coatis, who can now be seen upstairs in the Tropic Zone Building at the Central Park Zoo.  I might be a bit biased, but I think  these  three brothers are the cutest things at the zoo.  Their neighbors, the Banded Mongoose and the Dwarf Mongoose have been checking them out.  There is lots to see at the Central Park Zoo – come visit.  Don’t forget to click on the link below the photos to see my short video of the brothers.

Yes, we drove three hours to see four month old snow leopard cubs and we were not disappointed. The Cape May County Park and Zoo is a delightful facility with over 200 acres of beautiful natural wooded areas and open spaces.  And yes, it was worth our three hour drive to the tip of New Jersey to see the adorable cubs. If you want to see these photos larger go here.

Watch this little clip of Zoe, one of the Central Park Zoo’s snow leopards last winter in the first big snow.

While at the Zoo you can see the Penguins going through their seasonal molt, the snow monkeys as playful as ever and the new dwarf and banded mongoose tearing around their habitats.  All  fun to observe. Come visit.
