Enjoy a #MomentofZoo with this North American porcupine eating breakfast. Porcupines can use their powerful claws to dig for plants, tear off tree bark, and to anchor themselves when climbing. They also come in handy as corn cob holders! | Prospect Park Zoo

We’re getting ready to welcome everyone back to Prospect Park Zoo this weekend. Our three California sea lions, Beebe, Fara, and Libby, enjoyed a special treat. The keepers drained their 66,000-gallon pool and gave everything a good scrub. The trio was a little confused at first but quickly learned during refilling that a shallow pool provides opportunities to roll on the ground and scratch your back. Join us this weekend to celebrate our reopening with fun activities, including animal enrichmen

These Sebastopol geese are named after composers Purcell, Scarlatti, Chopin, Handel, and Bach, because of their ornate feathers and “musical” voices. These domestic descendants of the common Greylag goose were originally bred for their curly feathers which were used in pillows and quilts. The five male geese are nicknamed “the five guys” and are always seen together on our marsh pond. 🎥: Senior Keeper Gwen | Prospect Park Zoo

Recently, one of our older female California sea lions started exhibiting symptoms of cataracts in her right eye. Senior Keeper Gwen has worked with this animal for over a decade and has begun to use more tactile cues in her training to help compensate for reduced vision in her right eye. As you can see in this video, our sea lion can learn new behaviors and practice those she already knows, many related to her health care and husbandry. In addition to verbal and hand signals, Gwen also uses tou

Dwarf mongooses, Africa’s smallest carnivores, live in groups of 12 to 15 individuals, and are highly social. Huddling together like this is common behavior for both sleeping and facing potential predators. There’s safety in numbers! Mongooses adhere to a hierarchy in which the oldest male and female are the alpha pair—the only ones allowed to breed within the group. In the wild, dwarf mongooses occasionally take over termite mounds—with their perfectly compartmentalized living quarters–and turn

Enjoy this stunning, winter #MomentofZoo of our extremely rare new resident. This is a Siberian crane! Standing at almost five feet tall, Siberian cranes are the most endangered crane species in the world. Their primary habitat in Asia is shallow wetlands which are heavily impacted by both agricultural change and the building of dams. Prospect Park Zoo is one of only four facilities in the U.S. to currently have this species. She came to us from Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. Stay tuned for update

In this #MomentOfZoo from Keeper Megan, see our wreathed hornbill pair putting on a display! The male has a yellow neck pouch, while the female’s is blue. Hornbills can pick up small pieces of fruit and insects using just the tips of their dexterous bills. Our male hornbill is often observed offering food items to the female. Food sharing helps to strengthen or maintain a bond between a potential breeding pair, and is a component of courtship behavior. Be sure to visit them in the Animal Lifesty
