- Hey @CriticalRole - to express our love for Vox Machina, we have named one of our Madagascar hissing cockroaches for you. Happy Valentine's Day to the Critters from the original critters. @matthewmercer @Marisha_Ray @VoiceOfOBrien @executivegoth @samriegel @LauraBaileyVO
- Six Komodo dragons have hatched at the Bronx Zoo! This is the first time the species has successfully bred in our 122 year history. Some of the new hatchlings can currently be seen on exhibit in World of Reptiles.
00:00 - In this video, one of our keepers is shrouded in a costume and can be seen hand-feeding our king vulture chick using a custom made hand puppet created by artists in the Bronx Zoo’s Exhibition and Graphic Arts Department. (1/5)
00:00 - Unlike basketball players from Latvia, roaches are forever. Happy Valentine's Day from your friendly neighborhood zoo 💞 @desusnice @THEKIDMERO 🎨 #NameARoach
- Look what arrived just in time for Earth Day! We recently welcomed our first American bison birth of the season on April 22. In this video, the new mother bonds with the calf away from the herd. At this stage, bison moms are very protective of their offspring. (1/3)
00:00 - Throwing it back to last November and our Matschie’s tree kangaroo joey with her mom. Although the joey may have outgrown mom's pouch, she still keeps a watchful eye on her. #TBT
00:00 - When it finally snows, a little frolicking is in order! Bison fur is very well insulated and along with thick skin and layers of fat, they stay warm even during snowy conditions. Come springtime, they’ll shed their wooly layer of fur. 📸batkinson
00:00 - We've never met a Madagascar hissing cockroach that we didn't like. Oh, we remember Ep. 103 of UNHhhh @trixiemattel #NameARoach
- Need an instant mood booster? In this video, watch as our bison calves release some energy. Newborn bison calves can stand within minutes of birth and have the ability to run within just a few hours. They can even reach speeds of 30-35 mph! (1/2)
00:00 - We are thrilled to share that the Bronx Zoo is opening the new World of Darkness featuring 25 nocturnal species on Saturday, July 12! (1/3)
00:00 - Who loves hay? Our bison, that’s who! It’s hard not to smile when you catch a glimpse of our bison romping and rolling in fresh bales of hay, added to their habitat by their dedicated keepers. This cheerful #MomentOfZoo comes to you from Senior Keeper Carlos.
00:00 - Meet the okapi, the only living relative of giraffes! These shy, elusive animals—often called “forest giraffes”—are native to the Ituri Rainforest in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite their zebra-like stripes, okapis are not related to zebras. (1/2)
