Talk Bronx New York

The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo celebrating the 110th anniversary of its opening Sunday.To honor the parks special milestone, hundreds of visitors were on hand to sing Happy Birthday and cut the cake.

“I like seeing all the animal, because some are cute and there is a lot to learn about animals,” said one zoo goer.

“I think what the zoo does is it gives people that zoo face, you see an animal and it’s fun, your face lights up, you get the zoo face.”

“We make people aware that life is bigger than they themselves are and they are part of something much larger. I think if we do that and we make people want to contribute in efforts to save wildlife and places then we have been successful.”

Zoo officials say since the zoo opened in 1899, more than 236 million people have visited the grounds.
