We have three breeds of sheep at the Queens Zoo: Jacob’s four-horned, Shetland, and Southdown. Also look out for the Mangalitsa pigs, a Hungarian breed of domestic pig, and the only living breed with a coat of curly hair.

Arabian Horse

Bred historically for agility and speed, Arabian horses tend to have naturally high energy levels. As one of the oldest equine breeds, these horses were used historically by the Bedouin tribes for transportation of people and goods.

Llama

Llamas have been widely used as domesticated pack animals by Andean cultures in South America since before the arrival of Columbus. These social animals live together in herds.

Highland Cattle

Highland Cattle are are extremely hardy and can survive in places where other cattle couldn’t exist.

Apline Goats

Bred for the rugged, steep terrain of the French Alps, alpine goats are known for their remarkable agility, balance, and durability, as well as their friendly, curious personalities.
