We’re celebrating cultures from all over the world, including right here in the U.S. The Bronx Zoo played a key role in the recovery of the American bison. In the early 1900s, groups of our herd’s ancestors were moved from the zoo to the western plains, where bison were nearly extinct. Thousands of their relatives roam there today. | Bronx Zoo | Facebook

Brown bears love to swim for many reasons: to cool off and relax, help shed their winter coat and even hunt for fish. Hope you can visit them in person soon! | Bronx Zoo | Facebook

You’re already familiar with our bison thanks to THE ZOO. Now, 8 purebred bison we received as a gift from the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes are on exhibit. This historic transfer is part of our longtime work on bison conservation. | Bronx Zoo
