This Mother’s Day, Introduce Your Supermom to a Supermom Species

Treat mom to a wild Mother’s Day this year with a 15-minute Virtual Wild Encounter featuring a Bronx Zoo alligator! Plus meet a second SURPRISE guest chosen by the keeper, which could be a fennec fox, penguin, red kangaroo, hornbill, or warthog. She’ll also receive an exclusive Mother’s Day keepsake tumbler to commemorate the experience.*

Why alligators? Well, unlike most reptiles, female alligators are exceptional, devoted, and caring moms. A mother alligator makes a nest on shore, where she lays her eggs. Then she guards her eggs until they're ready to hatch. Once the babies hatch, she gently carries them—in her mouth—to the water nearby. Discover even more about this supermom species during the virtual encounter!

During the Virtual Wild Encounter, your mom will have the chance to ask keepers questions in real time and find out all about caring for these amazing creatures.

She’ll also receive this awesome stainless steel thermal tumbler.

This Mother’s Day gift package is a great way to celebrate your favorite mom, and to support the Bronx Zoo during these challenging times while connecting with animals like never before.
