    Say hello to our gentoo penguin chick! Born June 6, the hand-reared youngster currently weighs about 4 kilograms and is very healthy! The chick will be introduced to the exhibit when it’s about 3-4 months old, after it has finished molting into its adult feathers.

    We have wonderful news! There isn’t just one new harlequin lamb at the zoo, there’s TWO. Joining Bobbin & the rest of the flock is Sage, who is just 3 weeks old! According to keepers, the lambs have boundless energy. Next time you visit, look for them in the Children’s Zoo!

    It’s official! Our new harlequin lamb has been named Bobbin. She was born on Friday, January 26 to first-time mother, Thimble. It was hard to choose just a few photos of her to share, but here are some special highlights from our team, including one with Senior Keeper Tumeca.

    Snow leopards are impressive track and field athletes of the animal world. While not the fastest, they have been known to travel the distance of a marathon in one night and can jump 20 to 30 feet when chasing prey.

    Did you know that the woolly fur on the belly of a snow leopard can grow up to 5 inches long?That is SERIOUS insulation.

    Important macaroni penguin chick update! The chick that hatched here in November is getting its adult feathers and aced its swimming lessons. We’ve introduced the chick to some of the other penguins, but it won’t join the entire flock until it has all its adult feathers.

    With their stocky bodies, thick fur, and long bushy tails, snow leopards are perfectly prepared for winter. Their extra-large, fur-covered paws help them keep warm and distribute their weight like snow shoes, which helps keep them from from sinking into the snow.

    This harlequin lamb is very special! We introduced this fascinating breed to Central Park Zoo last year, and he is the first to be born at the zoo. Harlequins are small, docile sheep, best known for the variety of colors in their coats and their fine wool.

    In the wild, snow leopards are called ghost cats due to their elusive nature and nearly silent movements.
