Join us in wishing Tundra, our beloved grizzly bear, a beary happy 23rd birthday! 🐻

Tundra came to the Zoo as an orphaned cub 23 years ago, and we’ve been honored to provide her with the best care ever since. From a dynamic habitat that lets her live out her natural behaviors to plenty of love and enrichment, she’s truly thriving.

This time of year, Tundra is spending most of her days in her den, catching up on beauty sleep. But don’t worry – she still wakes up for her favorite snacks.

We love you Tundra! ❤️

Happy Birthday, Groucho! 🎉🐘

The eldest member of our Endangered Asian elephant herd turned 55 earlier this year, and his team made sure to celebrate in style! Groucho enjoyed a special day filled with birthday enrichment, including a “cake” made of hay, bananas, apples, oranges and topped with an extra sweet treat for the day, marshmallow fluff.

Thanks to the exceptional care he receives at Toyota Elephant Passage, Groucho is thriving well beyond the average life expectancy for male Asian elephants. This milestone is a true testament to the dedication of our Animal Care and Veterinary Medicine teams. Groucho continues to inspire us all with his wisdom, resilience, and grace, and as the incredible leader of our bachelor herd, he sets the tone for the younger bulls with his calm and patient demeanor.

We’re grateful for every moment with this amazing elephant and look forward to another year of health and happiness. Join us in wishing Groucho a very happy birthday! 🐘🎂
