Queens ZooDomestic Animals Welcome to the farm! Flemish giant rabbits, hairy Highland cows, and cashmere goats are some of the barnyard animals you’ll find here. Learn how taking good care of domestic animals helps imperiled wild animals survive, too. Sea Lion Pool At the heart of the park, bark hello to California sea lions and relax on the terrace. Three daily feeding demonstrations for the Zoo’s noisiest residents make the sea lion pool one of our most popular attractions. Great Plains Westward ho! In these wildlife habitats, coyotes prowl a piece of the prairie and bison and pronghorn antelope mingle on a slice of the Great Plains. These wide-open spaces are a great place to observe mammals fast on their feet. Aviary Get a bird’s-eye-view of the scenery as you circle up the walkways of our aviary. You’ll start out on the forest floor, where ducks paddle and turkeys gobble, then make your way to the treetop perches of porcupines, cardinals, and egrets. Waterfowl Marsh On a meandering marsh, ducks preen their feathers, sandhill cranes fish in the mud, and trumpeter swans call. Telescopes provide up-close views of the birds, and a rustic path takes you over a bridge and along the banks of this waterfowl haven. South American Trail Head South of the Border to see the world’s smallest deer, a pair of playful Andean bears, and a flock of thick-billed parrots. Facing the increased deforestation of the forests where they live, all three species are endangered.
