Meet Our Youngest Elephants
During this special month, we must recognize some of our youngest elephants who call zoos home! At Houston Zoo, five young Asian elephants have been born since 2017 – all under five years old! These adorable babies are named Nandi, Phoebe, Kipenzi, Ajabu, and Mshangao – each unique in their way! It’s amazing how much they’ve grown since birth – they’re sure to bring joy to anyone who visits them at the Zoo!
Conclusion
As we celebrate this special month dedicated to raising awareness for endangered species like Asian elephants, let us take time out of our day to appreciate these magnificent creatures and do our part in helping protect them from extinction. With enough effort and dedication, we can ensure that future generations can enjoy seeing these beautiful animals in person!
