Bruce Franklin Foster

Bruce was born on June 15, 1950, to the late Charles and Wilma Foster. His life was a testament to his passion for wildlife and adventure. For 37 years, Bruce dedicated himself to the care and study of amphibians and reptiles as a herpetologist at the Central Park Zoo and the Bronx Zoo. His expertise and love for frogs, toads, and crocodiles made him a respected figure in his field.
