Sheep and Pigs
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.
Beauty and Brains
Our haflinger pony Chablis is a favorite among guests. With their flaxen manes and tails, haflingers are a striking breed of horse developed in the Middle Ages in the mountains of Austria and northern Italy.
