What’s Happening in the Park

Grizzly Bears Have Moved to Central Park

Betty and Veronica are the two the newest additions to the Central Park Zoo. The 20-year-old grizzly bears live in the area that used to house Gus and Ida, the late polar bears. They came from the Bronx Zoo and weigh about 600 pounds each. Come and say hello on your next visit to Central Park!
