An egret in Central Park. A hawk on Fifth Avenue! A pig at Lincoln Center?

Yes, these are some of the unexpected subjects portrayed in "Zoo York." Awe inspiring sights in any natural setting, they are even more remarkable against the spectacular man-made backdrop of Manhattan. After scanning the city for four years, photographer Piero Ribelli introduces us to an incredible variety of different animals, a surprising aspect of life in this legendary metropolis. From the paradoxical to the humorous, these images seem to belong to the magical world of Harry Potter and are a perfect rendition of the joy and the character that animals bring to life in the city.

"Zoo York" is the first photographic book to portray these animals in their 'natural' environment: Manhattan!
