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.

As the leaves turn and the air cools, fall brings a unique kind of beauty to the Queens Zoo. Our alpacas are especially enjoying the season—you can often spot them nibbling on fallen leaves. Alpacas are both grazers and browsers. They primarily graze on grasses but will also browse leaves from shrubs and small trees. Fall is the perfect time to visit the zoo, take in the crisp air, and watch the animals enjoy the changing season alongside you.

Did you know California sea lions have black teeth? This isn’t because of too much Halloween candy. It’s due to the healthy bacteria that live in their mouths and protect their teeth from disease and decay! Unlike humans, sea lions don’t have enamel on their teeth and the dark colored bacteria provides the protection from tooth decay and gum diseases. 🦷

Join us daily at the Queens Zoo for sea lion feeding sessions held at 11:15 am, 2:00 pm, and 4:00 pm to learn more about our California sea lions from our animal care team.
