A Star for Bodhi ⭐️
A Helping Hand for Hesty
Another Toad-al Success
@DenverZoo in the Wild
Meet Bodhi, our 20-year-old Endangered Asian elephant, who is thriving thanks to the dedication of his devoted care team! 🐘
While the variability in the habitat and social groups works well for our other five elephants, our Animal Care team noticed that 20-year-old Bodhi didn`t display the same confidence as the other bachelors in moving between the various habitats in Toyota Elephant Passage. To support Bodhi’s wellbeing, his dedicated team developed a personalized care plan and a shape system representing each elephant that allows Bodhi to choose whether to spend time alone or socialize with others. With this innovative training, he’s more confident when moving between habitats in Toyota Elephant Passage and interacting with the other members of our bachelor herd. As the star of this specialized training program, it’s only fitting that Bodhi’s shape is a star! ⭐️
Bodhi’s story is just one example of the personalized care we provide for all our animals. This Colorado Gives Day, your support ensures we can continue this expert care! Visit the link in our bio to donate today. 💚

Along with specialized nutrition and daily enrichment to keep her mentally and physically stimulated, her team takes additional steps like applying animal-safe sunscreen daily to protect her delicate skin. Marshmallow’s well-being is always our priority, and her passionate care team is committed to keeping her happy and healthy!
