Monkeying Around the Bronx Zoo!

Truly Julie feeding peanut butter to a Kangaroo. 

The Bronx Zoo is one of my favorite places in New York City. And my nephew, Odin, is my favorite little dude. So…it only seemed natural I combine the two! Aspiring to be the Super Emo (aunt in Korean)…I gathered up a few of Odin’s friends (and their parents) for a very magical day at the zoo. From this stealth frogmouth that looked so much like a tree bark…to the majestic gorilla…to the most stunning snow leopard…we got to witness wildlife from afar as well as pet them up close!

Hmm…having 3 year-olds pet an alligator (it was just a baby, though!), kangaroo, emu, wallaby, etc…may sound crazy. But! With the amazing Bronx Zoo staff watching over us…there was zero danger…just a mesmerizing excursion that will hopefully imbue in these little ones to love, respect, and preserve our wildlife. Check out the picture gallery below…better yet…head to the Bronx Zoo for a spellbinding experience that’s tried and true! (Also visit the Central Park Zoo for these adorable penguin chicks…watch the video…it will make your day)
