A visit to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Zoo is always fun. Their collection of animals grows each month. Check out the adorable baby golden lion tamarin born July 16th, to first time parents, Pablo and Teodora. Pablo, was born in 2004 and came to The Prospect Park Zoo from Zoo Atlanta. Teodora, was born at the Baton Rouge Zoo in 2008. Their pairing was a recommended breeding match through the national Species Survival Plan, a program that works to ensure the genetic diversity of endangered species in zoos and aquariums.
The red-eye tree frog was awake and energetic, as were the two tufted deer juveniles, meerkats, hornbills, stork, sea lions and more.
No doubt you have heard the story of the Central Park Zoo‘s little bundle of joy born during the weekend of Hurricane Irene. She has been named Irene Hope. Check out her cuteness:

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.

To my friend, Barbara March 13, 2011

I dedicate this week’s photo montage to Barbara Rosenthal. She was the adoring god-mother to my dog, Benny, the mother of Chaplin, her fabulous tuxedo cat and a dear old friend. Barbara died suddenly last week and has left a huge whole in my heart. She had many passions including the opera, ballet, theater, fine wine, good food and travel. But what we shared most was the love of a goofy dog named Benny. Whenever I left town I did not for one moment think that Benny was anxious, or even missed me. He seamlessly made the transition from my house to Barbara’s house. Her terrific cat more than tolerated Benny, the interloper, and I even think that there were many moments when he actually enjoyed the dog’s company. You can read more about Barbara in her obituary in today’s New York Times.
A celebration of Barbara’s rich life will be held at 2 PM, on Sunday, April 10th, at ‘The Riverside’ on 76th and Amsterdam. Donations can be made in her name to the Central Park Zoo’s Horticulture Dept. (this combines her love of plants and animals) – 830 Fifth Avenue – NY NY 10065.

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 .
