Happy holidays from all of us at Queens Zoo!

We’re open today and would love to see you. Spend part of your holiday exploring the zoo, making memories, and visiting your favorite animals—like the puma, a powerful predator that has adapted to changing climates since the Ice Age. Don’t forget to reserve your tickets online before your visit!

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.

If you would prefer to skip the lines on Black Friday, we have a better suggestion! Spend a couple of hours in nature and leave the stress of the holiday season behind. This may even become a new family tradition.

Happy Thanksgiving! The Queens Zoo is open 365 days a year. When the weather cools off, many animals are more active and you'll encounter fewer crowds.

Did you know that the Queens Zoo has played a key role in protecting the future of the Critically Endangered Puerto Rican crested toad? We breed the toads twice a year. If we’re lucky, and the females lay eggs, they hatch within 24 hours. We feed the tadpoles for approximately 10 days before shipping them to Puerto Rico. This year, we sent around 4,000 tadpoles. Since 2014, we have produced over 10,000 tadpoles for release into their native habitats in an effort to help struggling wild populations recover. Tadpoles from Queens Zoo and other breeding sites are released into reintroduction sites where they complete metamorphosis into toads. The sites are protected and closely monitored by the Puerto Rican Crested Toad Conservancy (PRCTC).

Since 1984, the PRCTC, a consortium of zoos, government agencies, universities, nonprofits, and individual landowners working together for the long-term survival of the Puerto Rican crested toad in the wild, has released hundreds of thousands of tadpoles to Puerto Rico.

The Andean bears at the Queens Zoo are enjoying the crisp fall air—and that includes our newest arrival, Ransisku, who joined us from the San Diego Zoo over the summer! He’s been settling in nicely and exploring his new habitat as the autumn leaves fall.

Andean bears are the only bear species native to South America, well adapted to the cool mountain forests of the Andes. Come visit this season to see Ransisku and our female bear Coya, as they enjoy all the colors (and scents!) of fall.
