I rescued a tiger from an NYC apartment — and other animal tales from Bronx Zoo honcho’s 50 years on the job

It’s a Bronx tail.

For 125 years, the Bronx Zoo has dazzled and inspired visitors with exotic and beautiful creatures like gorillas and tigers and lemurs — oh, my!

“Guests love to see the care, the dedication and the passion that our staff have for making sure that these animals were well cared for,” Jim Breheny, director of the Bronx Zoo and a Throggs Neck native, 64, told The Post.

“There’s the connection and the bond they have between each other.”

In honor of the quasquicentennial jubilee, the Bronx Zoo is rolling out a new quarter-mile walking trail of beastly art on Saturday called Animal Chronicles, which features 13 unique environmental scenes, 68 sculptures of critters and more artistic nods to the zoo’s illustrious history in animal rescue.

“It’s just amazing, you know?” Breheny said. “People say you can learn something from talking to anybody. It’s the same thing here. You can learn something from interacting with any animal.”
