Can you guess why our Mangalitsa piglets are rooting around in the snow with their snouts? The pigs are hunting for the vegetables that keeper Maya hid for them. This enrichment encourages the pigs’ natural foraging behaviors. We hope you can stop by soon to see them.

Sharing is caring, but on this fall day one of our young Andean bears wanted to take the other’s enrichment fish! Novel food items like fish can be a treat, but also contribute to a well-balanced diet. In the wild, plant-rich foods make up the majority of an Andean bear’s omnivorous diet, although they have been known to supplement their diets with small mammals and insects. Here at the zoo, our Andean bears enjoy a varied diet of fruits and veggies as well as specially formulated biscuits.

My, what big feet you have, Canada lynx! This animal’s broad, heavily furred paws, along with its agility and excellent hearing and vision makes it a skilled hunter when tracking its agile prey, the snowshoe hare. In the wild, Canada lynx tend to be more active at night when snowshoe hares are foraging. This winter, take a walk on the Wild Side at the Queens Zoo and learn more about these skilled hunters.

Are you ready to meet three little pigs? These male Mangalitsa piglets arrived at the Queens Zoo in October and are settling in nicely. Mangalitsa pigs are a Hungarian breed of domestic pig, and the only living breed with a coat of curly hair. Come and say “hi” to them in the farmyard next time you visit.
