THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE DONATIONS TO THE ZOO AND VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US FIND HOMES FOR ALL OF THE PUPPIES AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE EMS, FIREMEN, POLICEMEN & NEIGHBORS WHO HELPED RESCUE THEM FROM THE BURNING BUILDING.  TRUE HEROES IN THE EYES OF ALL OF US HERE AT ANIMAL KINGDOM.

*Please note that we sell $10 fruit baskets now for feeding the animals. We also have popcorn/peanut bags.  The fruit baskets are a much healthier alternative for our furry friends!  Giraffe feeding is available during the warmer months when our bamboo is ripe.

Animal Kingdom boasts one of the most extensive wild animal collections in New Jersey.  Many of our animals are endangered species, which is why the zoo is so important.  Our mission is to educate visitors about the importance of preserving the environment and, as a result, the animals that live here.

Animal Kingdom’s large collection of animals, some free roaming and others caged, have traveled from six continents to make their home at Animal Kingdom.

Unparalleled Primate Collection

Animal Kingdom boasts one of the largest collections of primates in the United States.  Among our honored guests, we have the Mandrill Baboon with its stunning blue face, two species of  lemurs and fifteen other species of primates.  We are also honored to have many endangered species here at Animal Kingdom, such as the very rare Spot-Nosed Guenon.

Giraffes in New Jersey

At Animal Kingdom, we have several giraffes, many of which are babies born right here in New Jersey.  Did you know that baby giraffes weigh about 150 pounds when they are born?

One hump or two?

…The camels at Animal Kingdom have one!  Did you know that the camel’s hump is used to store fat, not water?  Camels are from Asia and are at home in the desert.  There isn’t any desert here at Animal Kingdom but we give them a large pile of sand in the summer to lay on.
