Incoming Kirby update! Our youngest Asian elephant

Incoming Kirby update! Our youngest Asian elephant, Kirby, recently met her dad, Thailand. She was joined by mom Shanti, sister Joy, and brother Nelson as they explored the cow yard for several hours. It was Nelson’s first time meeting his sister, in fact, his first time meeting a baby elephant. Check out a few highlights from the family meeting! ⁣

Did you know you can recycle small electronic devices like phone, tablets, and portable speakers at the Zoo? We are partnering with Harris County and the University of Houston to understand the experiences of residents when disposing of small electronic devices. You can help us by taking a brief survey. Link in bio.

By recycling your old electronics at the Houston Zoo, you’re not just helping the environment – you're playing a crucial role in saving animals in the wild.
