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.

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 .

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.

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. To see these photos larger go here.
