Zoo visitors love to watch the animals eat. Why? Maybe it is a shared connection or a chance to watch them doing what every sentient creature on earth does. Whether the animal is an omnivore, herbivore or carnivore we like to watch them eat. All of today’s photos were taken at the Central Park Zoo. If you have not seen this hilarious video about animals eating – check it out here:

Rarely a holiday goes by (whether we celebrate it or not here at Casa Lobo) that doesn’t cry out for a new hat that Benny the dog can wear. Enjoy this year’s Easter Benny..

Friday’s storm (aka Nemo) hit the Big Apple with a gentle touch. Nothing could keep me from getting some post-storm shots at the Central Park Zoo. Enjoy the snow loving animals and please watch my friend and zoocation buddy, Mary Schwalm’s time lapse video of little Barbie getting creamed by a heavy hitting Nemo in her backyard in North Andover MA. If you subscribe to my weekly photos (and get them in your in-box) you are probably not able to view my videos from your inbox image. Just scroll up and click on the blue link (which is the name of today’s send) and it will take you back to my ‘While at the Zoo’ website where you can watch today’s video selection.

We have been experiencing some bitter cold temperatures in the Big Apple this week and we finally got something pretty out of all of that shivering. A light coating of snow fell Friday night and I was inspired to photograph some of the beautiful animals at the Central Park Zoo enjoying this winter’s First taste of Snow.

Wildlife photography is great fun. We wait and wait and wait for those special moments. Sometimes, if we are lucky, the moment happens when your subject is now looking back at you, while you are looking at them. (Except for the bottom photo that cries out for the caption ‘No more photos!’).

All of today’s photos were shot at the Central Park Zoo.
