#MomentofZoo . We recently captured this clip of the sea lions basking in the first of the spring sunshine. We hope you can get outside and catch up on some vitamin D this weekend! And if that includes sea lions, even better!
Today’s #MomentOfZoo zen is brought to you by the Butterfly Garden! Weather permitting, you can watch these beautiful animals flutter by until the end of October.
We know things can get hectic at this time of year, so take a #MomentofZoo and enjoy this peaceful scene from Northern Ponds of two female hooded merganser ducks swimming side by side.
Enjoy this fall #MomentofZoo with one of our red-crowned cranes. These beautiful birds are among the largest and most endangered crane species. Conservationists are working hard to protect them across East Asia.

Happy Monday! Start the week off right with a #MomentofZoo courtesy of the Andean bear, Bouba.
Enjoy this #MomentofZoo brought to you by Keeper Leela in the Aquatic Bird House marsh exhibit. This roseate spoonbill and giant wood rail just had a bath and chose to dry off and groom on the same branch. The range of these species overlaps in parts of South America.
Sound on to enjoy this #MomentofZoo with the sheep. In the background you can hear Central Park’s famous Delacorte clock. Can anybody name that tune?
Enjoy this #MomentofZoo courtesy of a trumpeter swan in our Waterfowl Marsh. Does it give you snow globe vibes?
