It has been about two months since I sent out photos from my home base – the Central Park Zoo.  There’s lots going on, as usual, at the zoo. Our four species of penguins are fattening up for the upcoming molting season. Gus, the polar bear, plays with his toys in the cool refreshing pool. The three coati brothers (Lobo, Zev and Wolfie) continue to be playful and active most of the day.  Our fabulous sea ducks cool themselves off in the sprinklers and ponds.  Come visit soon and meet our two new sensational Hyacinth Macaws, located directly outside the Penguin House. Other animals featured today are the red crested turaco, Rahjah sehlduck, Jambu fruit dove, April the sea lion, a muntjac, Atlantic puffin, crested coua, red panda and snow monkey.

Zoo # 7 on our zoocation was the enormous and beautiful Toronto Zoo.  We were fortunate to meet some new Zoo friends who were very generous with their time and attention with some behind the scenes access. The Toronto Zoo has an adorable young polar bear named Hudson and three beautiful white lion cubs just in from South Africa.  I made a short video of the adorable lion cubs that you can see below.  Enjoy!

Zoo #6 on our zoocation was an unplanned visit.  Since we had the time and energy we crossed the Canadian/US border for the first of four times on our way to the Safari Niagara Zoo in Stevensville, Ontario. It was hot and there was way too much cyclone fencing but it was a fun visit with an active hippo.  My zoo buddy adores hippos.

Zoo #4 on our summer zoocation was the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park, Syracuse, New York. We met some new zoo friends who generously shared some of their time with behind the scenes activities for us.  The collection of animals was great, especially the delightful spectacled bear brothers and young penguins. Enjoy!

Zoo #3 on our summer zoocation was the Utica Zoo in Utica, New York.  A mid-afternoon arrival is never the best for a zoo visit but we did find some beautiful animals who perked up when they saw us.  Getting to the zoo along New York’s Blue Highways, rather than major roadways, was also a delight.

Zoo #2 on our summer zoocation was  The New York State Zoo at Thompson Park in Watertown, NY. Zoo news promised us wolf pups, so off we drove.  We got a little peek at a few of them through cyclone fencing and deep wooded cover.  I cannot say that I blame the little pups for taking naps — but we sure wanted to see them frolicking. Oh well – it was a nice small zoo with some active animals. Enjoy.
