Malala in snowThere’s nothing quite like watching animals frolic in the snow. Tuesday’s few inches of snow made for some great zoo animal action.  This week’s montage features Central Park Zoo’s debut of grizzly bears, Betty and Veronica and seven month old snow leopard cub, Malala, enjoying her first taste of snow. The snow monkeys and red pandas also enjoyed their first snow of 2015. Come visit.firstsnow2015

Askai with PumpkinLast Sunday’s photo workshop at the Central Park Zoo was a blast. Most of today’s photo montage is filled with fun pumpkin and gourd enrichment from last weekend’s class experience.

In two weeks, on Saturday, November 8th, from 8:30 to 10:30  another photo workshop will be held at the Central Park Zoo. We won’t be having a pumpkin fest but we will be doing other fun things.  Sign up here and enjoy lots of photo ops – all before the zoo opens. PUMPKINPALOOZA

Ball boy Benny-1I interrupt the usual Sunday Zoo photos to bring you photos from the 2014 US Open where I am enjoying a 10 day stint.  The action is great, the sun is hot, and it is a fun change of pace.  And yes, that’s my dog, Benny, enjoying his US Open tennis ball at home.

Mongoose pupIt has been almost four months since I shared photos from my home base, the Central Park Zoo. Our May, all Tennessee Zoocation, my June Arctic adventure and visits to other terrific zoos have made me derelict in sending out photos from my favorite zoo. Enjoy!CPZ7.2014

Gorilla Baby-Bronx ZooWe’ve been wanting to see the two gorilla babies at the Bronx Zoo and we were not disappointed. We also got some other grand surprises with a young Okapi, Wolf’s Guenon baby, Colobus baby,  Langur Baby, Brown ruffed lemur baby and the opening day of the Komodo dragon exhibit at Astor Court.  A fine visit indeed.BXZOOMAY2014

BABY LAMBThis annual rite of spring took place yesterday at the Central Park Zoo. For many urban dwellers the sight of sheep being shorn was a first time experience.  Our six day old lamb only added to the fun.  A shout out to Pete Sepe of Sepe Farms for his annual visit, education and fun. Come visit us and see our freshly shorn flock at the Tisch Children’s Zoo.SHEEPSHEARING

IBIS TAKES FLIGHTAfter weeks of snow and ice I decided to spend a little quality time in the Central Park Zoo’s Tropic Zone. It was just what the doctor ordered. It is warm, colorful, and filled with wonderful sounds and calls. If you like today’s montage how about signing up for my next Central Park Zoo Photography Workshop on Sunday, March 9, from 8:30 to 10:30.  Experience breakfast and a photo shoot with our Tropical Birds and maybe we will be lucky and there will still be some opportunities for snow photos too.
