Double the (elephant) girl power! Celebrate the lives of beloved elephants Meru as she turns two, and her big sister Penzi as she turns six — as well as the lives of elephants everywhere. Zoo keepers will provide the sisters and the herd with enrichment filled with some of their favorite treats. Learn about Meru and Penzi’s development and their care at the Zoo, enjoy free cookies (while supplies last), tale part in elephant-themed activities, and discover how you can join the Zoo in helping to protect this endangered species.
