Happy National Vet Tech Week! Our zoo is lucky to have Natalie as our veterinary technician, who is on grounds 5 days a week and always on call for assistance. She is critical to the day-to-day function of veterinary practices and plays a vital role in preserving animal health and welfare. Natalie has helped in countless procedures, medical training sessions, and physical exams. We appreciate her all year long, but we would like to take this week to truly show our appreciation of all her hard work. Here is a quick glimpse of the zoo’s vet tech in action #statenislandzoo #visitthezoo #vettechweek #vettechappreciation #criticalrole #keystonespecies #weloveyou

If you have walked around the zoo before, you have definitely seen toys in our exhibits. Zookeepers provide animals with lots of different kinds of enrichment: things they can manipulate like baby toys, towels and blankets from other animals around the zoo to entice their sense of smell, and/or puzzle feeders to get them to work for their food and keep their minds going. Today was a forage day and our keepers in the Children Center provided their critters with some natural browse that they all just devoured. The zoo grounds have lots of trees and plants, like this bamboo, that provide animals with a tasty treat they don’t typically get in their diet #statenislandzoo #hoofstock #ponies #alpacas #sheep #barnyardfriends #enrichment #bamboo #nomnomnom

Spooktacular 2020 Tickets now available to ALL! Reserve yours today before they are gone
