Just in time for spring, this pygmy marmoset at the 菊花视频鈥檚 Bronx Zoo easily figures out how to retrieve one of its favorite treats- a tasty insect- from a plastic egg. Pygmy marmosets are found in South America and are one of the world鈥檚 smallest primates. 听The animal keepers at WCS鈥檚 Bronx Zoo daily provide enrichment to the animals to help keep them mentally and physically active and healthy. Visitors to the Monkey House can see enrichment activities throughout the spring.

Animal enrichment is just one of many attractions planned for spring. 听WCS鈥檚 Bronx Zoo will be kicking off the season with Animal Tales Extravaganza; every weekend in April, May, and June will be packed with family-oriented entertainment. 听And don鈥檛 miss the second annual Run for the Wild on Saturday, April 24th at WCS鈥檚 Bronx Zoo.
