As a Bronx Zoo Ambassador, I get the latest scoop on what’s new at The Bronx Zoo and the rest of the Wildlife Conversation Society so I can share it with all of my lovely readers.
I’m already planning another visit to the Bronx Zoo to see exhibits and attractions we didn’t get to see such as the Butterfly Exhibit, Sea Lions and hopefully ride the camels. I’m giddy with excitement just thinking about it.
