Meet Birds and Ballerinas at the Central Park Zoo
On Sunday, May 25 at 11:00 a.m., join the American Ballet Theatre at the Zoo for a special family program, Swans in Nature and Art. Listen to a reading of The Ugly Duckling and learn about the black-necked swans on Swan Pond, then meet two Swan Lake ballerinas in glittery costume!

  New Spring Bud at the Zoo
Just in time for Mother’s Day, colobus mom Tana gave birth to her second baby. The tiny youngster, who sports an all-white coat and looks a little like an old man, lives with its troop in the Rainforest.
Meet the monkey baby and its keeper, Heather Gordon.
