Monsters and boas and anoles, oh my! A wide variety of lizards, snakes, and turtles creep and crawl through exhibits at the Bronx, Central Park, Prospect Park and Queens Zoos.
Some coyotes are solitary, but most travel and live together in mated pairs or in groups of three or more individuals called packs. The zoo’s pack eats together, roams together, and horses around together.
Andean bear Cisco may have a 250-pound advantage over his mate Spangles, but he doesn’t have the upper hand. Watch the little gal boss him around!
Meet our prickly porcupine, our resident gobblers, and their winged neighbors in the aviary exhibit.
Check out these ‘dos! The zoo’s wild and woolly residents include long-haired Scottish Highland steers that love a good grooming and fleecy sheep that will eat right out of your hand.
Meet the pool’s three big boys—Butch, Phoenix, and Howie. With a daily diet that can exceed two dozen pounds of fish, this trio wins the zoo’s best-eater award.
