Staten Island Zoo

Founded in 1936, the Staten Island Zoo was the first in the nation to specifically make education part of their mission. The Zoo offers a wide variety of programming on-site, off-site, and virtually. Known as “The Biggest Little Zoo”, the AZA accredited institution currently houses more than 1,500 animals representing nearly 300 species on our 8-acre park, including Amur leopards, sloths, capybaras, a cassowary, native species, an extensive reptile collection, and a petting zoo.

FUN FACTS

The giraffe’s tongue is black to prevent sunburn while eating in the hot sun. Their spots, which are as unique as humans fingerprints, are designed for camouflage. And they need less sleep than any other mammal, using the time instead to browse for food.

When you go to the zoo, be on the lookout for the clever ways animals adapted to their surroundings and developed traits that help them survive.
