Sublime and Beautiful Sunday at the zoo
Good morning and I hope your weekend is going well

And for this week I am sharing some shots from Buttonwood Park zoo here in New Bedford,
a little bit about the zoo
The Buttonwood Park Zoo, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, is a zoo located in the center of Buttonwood Park. Opened in 1894, it is the third-oldest zoo in New England and the 12th-oldest zoo in the United States. Located on a 7 acres (2.8 ha) campus, the zoo is owned and operated by the City of New Bedford, with the support of the Buttonwood Park Zoological Society. It is located on part of the Buttonwood Park Historic District, and federally designated on the National Register of Historic Places.
The zoo is home to more 250 different animals made up of more than 80 different species of animals, including many that are rare and endangered. The zoo has played a vital role in the conservation of endangered animals and is a participant in the Cape Cod Stranding Network and Species Survival Plan
A small zoo but the staff seem excellent and take great care of the animals and the grounds as well

ON a previous post I shared on facebook one person asked if the horses were still there as they had not seen them for a while walking past the zoo, so I made a point of walking to that area and this one horse was still there
