Sometimes I can’t stop Bella from chasing deer, fox and squirrels. I’m not going to shoot her Governor Kristi Noem #Cricket #dog

🐾 5,000 runners and walkers turned out today to make tracks for snow leopards and other wildlife at the WCS Run for the Wild Bronx Zoo. Sponsored by Montefiore Health System.

It's #WorldTapirDay ! DYK there are four species of tapirs, including Baird’s, mountain, lowland, & Malayan? At the Bronx Zoo we have two Malayan tapirs, Kris & Cinta. We hope you can visit them in JungleWorld soon!

Thanks Kay A. Smith !! Love seeing it!

Kentucky Fried Electrician A SOP team flew into the Helmand ( Afghanistan) to pull out a wounded EOD K-9 . The moment was so surreal that a crew member snapped this horrible photo. 14 men went after that dog like they would any other critically wounded service member. Kristi Noem

What a great day Bronx Zoo great crowd and a great partner in Montefiore Health System !!

Mountain tapirs, like Mojito here, are very rare. Fewer than 2,500 are estimated to remain in the wild. The L.A. Zoo is proud to care for three out of the four mountain #Tapirs remaining in human care in the United States, and support field conservation efforts.

There’s far too much demonization in our politics. I mean, just because MAGA types have bad ideas doesn’t mean they’re the kind of people who would shoot puppies.

Oh, wait.

To clear the palate after learning Kristi Noem kills dogs, I’m posting pictures of my Georgia rescue hound-mix Ruby Roo Roundhouse Carducci (as a puppy and at 4).

Feel free to do the same.

Big thank you 🙏 to Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado for helping us celebrate the Bronx Zoo 125th anniversary

Anne Innis Dagg, who broke ground in the 1950s as one of the world’s first biologists to study giraffes in the wild, then spent decades fighting sexism in Canadian universities before finally finding acclaim in the 2010s, died on April 1. She was 91. nyti.ms/4420ew2

Enjoy this ethereal #MomentofBlue brought to you by our moon jellies! You can find them in the Spineless exhibit at the aquarium.

Very worrying if these #elephant #ivory seizures are signs of a major new trend

Jean Ehret was one of the first women to work in the Ornithology Dept. in 1974. She was the first brooder room keeper and cared for newly hatched birds. When she left the Bronx Zoo in 1995, she supervised a department that had become 50 percent women. #WomensHistoryMonth #BZ125

Flaco's toxicology report reveals 4 different types of rodenticide + pigeon herpesvirus. He was a very sick bird, in other words, when he collided with a window and fell, or simply fell, suffering traumatic injuries at an UWS apartment building.

BREAKING YET UNSURPRISING: WCS confirms #Flaco died with high levels of #rodenticides . Rat poison is found in 84% of dead #birdsofprey in NYC and increases the risk of building collisions. Protect #hawks #eagles & #owls like Flaco that eat rats and can become poisoned (🧵1/2)
