Thursday nights are meant for the zoo. At least they are at the Bergen County Zoo at Van Saun Park. Each Thursday during the summer, the zoo is open from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. through Aug. 29 to host their Summer Nights at the Zoo series. During each presentation, zoo staff will introduce children to a different topic of interest--from dinosaurs to wild pets.
Tonight's presentation is Know the Bear Facts with Michelle Smith from the DEP. It begins at 6 p.m. at the Education Center. This program teaches participants about the natural history and biology of black bears in N.J. Smith will also presents and audio-visual overview about coexisting with black bears.
