Pygmy Marmoset babies
Twin pygmy marmosets ride on their father's back on exhibit at the Congo Gorilla Forest. They were born in November, and look big in the photo, but the babies' heads are about the size of a fifty cent piece, fluff included.

Quince monitors were discovered in the wild in Indonesia just a decade ago. Through careful animal work by our keepers and animal staff, a breeding area was secured, and 7 eggs hatched in December.

WCS Health- Animal Check-Ups
Dr. Tim Georoff, a veterinarian for the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo, handles a gila monster, a venomous lizard, with great care as he prepares this female for an radiograph (x-ray). The plexiglass housing is part of precautionary measures as the gila monster's venom is present in its saliva, and is injected into its prey through grooves in the teeth of its lower jaw. Gila monsters hold on tightly and chew, working their venom into the bite. This female is being x-rayed to check to see if she is gravid, full of eggs.
