May is a glorious month. The recent rains have made the Central Park Zoo‘s gardens even more spectacular. Come visit and see our red pandas, snow leopards, sea lions, lemurs, white-naped cranes, amazing tropical rain forest, our two new baby goats, Marble and Mica and much, much more. Here is special salute to Scooter (and her pals, April and Clarisse) featured in my June, 2007 video of Central Park Zoo’s California sea lions. We will all miss Scooter. She was a very special sea lion. If you subscribe to my weekly Sunday photos (and get them in your in-box) you are probably not able to view my videos from your inbox image.

The Queens Zoo has a great collection of animals from ‘the Americas.’ Their newest arrivals are three Chacoan peccaries, forest mammals native to South America, named Walker, Palito, and Chili. You can also see the baby alpaca, named Cria, a little goat kid and a road runner. Don’t forget to check out the bison, pronghorn, coyotes, bald eagles, lynx, puma and more.

We had a real treat this week. We were invited by my friend, Marc Valitutto, to visit him at the Staten Island Zoo. Marc is their new General Curator and Veterinarian. He gave us a fabulous tour and shared some of the plans that he has for this 75 year old zoo. I look forward to visiting Marc often and watch as his plans come to light. If you look carefully, you will spot the zoo’s famous Staten Island Chuck, who gives Punxsutawney Phil a run for his money each Ground Hog Day. Not only was the zoo lots of fun, but we got to ride the Staten Island ferry and on the return trip and stopped to visit the beautiful 9/11 Memorial that is right near the ferry and well worth your time. There is a photo of this lovely spot on the bottom of today’s montage.

While in New England to attend my zoo-cation friend’s wedding last weekend, in addition to the festivities, we, of course, had to make time to go to the Stone Zoo to see their adorable baby gibbon, active wolves and new colobus monkey troop.

While at the Central Park Zoo do not forget to go upstairs in the Tropic Zone. It is a happening spot. Along with the always delightful Mountain Coatis (Lobo, Zev and Wolfie) you can also see African Banded and Dwarf Mongoose with four babies in each exhibit. Come quickly – they re growing rapidly. Also catch our new Saki Monkeys who reside with two Silvery Marmosets. Don’t forget to catch the magnificent Eurasian Eagle Owl too. If you want to see these photos larger go to here.

The Central Park Zoo formally debuts its newest residents (and I think the cutest). Feast your eyes on the adorable Mountain Coatis named Lobo, Zev and Wolfie.

There is nothing quite like going to a zoo on one of the hottest days of the year. It is surely an endurance test – but we all managed to survive and saw some wonderful faces.
