Animal Planet takes audiences on a first-ever, in-depth look behind the
scenes at the Bronx Zoo, a New York institution and global leader in
animal care and species conservation. With full access to the Bronx
Zoo's 265-acre campus, located a mere ten miles from New York's Times
Square, Animal Planet shines a light on a wondrous world of more than
6,000 animals and the 500-plus people dedicated to their care and
well-being. The Zoo premieres Saturday, February 18th at 10 PM ET/PT. The Zoo was filmed over an 8-month period, focuses on the stories of dozens of
animals and experiences at the Bronx Zoo, and its critical mission to
conserve wildlife around the globe. It also highlights the diverse
community of people who work at the zoo, and how their expertise and
varied skills come together to provide the highest quality care for the
animals.
