The Zoo’s Animals

Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo exhibits hundreds of animals, primarily from North and South America. Many of the animals are endangered or threatened species, which means there aren't many of them left in the world.

You can learn Animal Facts by clicking on a species name.

Information will be added and updated continually, so please check back soon for even more animals.

Sponsor an Animal with your family or classroom.
