Zoo Debuts New Habitat

The much-anticipated Harry and Linda Fath Elephant Trek is now open! The amazing new Elephant Trek space, Phase 1, is home to elephant bull Sabu and females Anuk, SheRa, Jati, Mai Thai, and Schottzie, as well as two younger males, Kabir and Sanjay. The herd will be able to access an indoor area as well as roam three vast outdoor yards. The Elephant Trek will also help hungry humans graze at several new food spots–the Trunk Stop, Mai Thai’s Market, and The Grove Food Court. Phase 2 of the Elephant Trek, which will include habitats for siamangs, babirusa, rhinoceros hornbills, and small-clawed otters, will be opening in spring of 2025. Be sure to visit this breathtaking new area during the Festival of Lights this year… or perhaps, give the gift of a family membership and see the herd all year long.
