Do you know Franklin Park Zoo is home to a number of endangered species including western lowland gorillas, Grevy’s zebras, pygmy hippos and others?

In honor of Endangered Species Day, be sure to visit on May 17 to learn more about these incredible animals.

Franklin Park Zoo has partnered with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Northeast Regional Office) to present an engaging day designed for visitors of all ages to learn more about endangered species and ways that they can help protect these animals as well as their habitats.

Children will have the opportunity to dress up as a field biologist or wildland firefighter, see confiscated wildlife products and learn about piping plovers, an endangered bird species that can be found in Massachusetts.

Throughout the day, there will also be opportunities to meet with the zookeepers and ask questions during scheduled zookeeper encounters.
