Central Park Zoo

The Central Park Zoo was a zoo located Central Park in New York City.

Newt Scamander and Jacob Kowalski decided to search Central Park in 1926 after Jacob suggested that one of Newt's escaped creatures might have gone there. The pair encountered an escaped lion from the Central Park Zoo while walking through the Diamond District. When they got to Central Park, an ostrich ran past them on a bridge, fleeing from an unknown danger. They soon found that Newt's escaped creature – a female Erumpent in estrus – had invaded the Central Park Zoo in search of a mate, letting several of the resident animals loose in the process. Newt and Jacob managed to recapture the Erumpent with great difficulty and destruction.
