🐘 Nothing says a perfect day like warm weather and a fresh mud wallow! Our youngest elephant, Duncan (11), and our oldest, Groucho (55), recently shared a special moment as Groucho enjoyed a mud bath. Watching him relax, roll around, and even invite Duncan to join in the fun is an amazing reminder of the outstanding care our team provides every day at Toyota Elephant Passage. ✨

Glowing Wild, our ALL-NEW immersive lantern experience, is right around the corner! ✨
Our teams, along with artists from event producer @tianyuartsculture, have been diligently working to bring this brilliant event to life. With over 145 handmade lanterns creating 60 unique scenes, this dazzling display will illuminate our campus with breathtaking depictions of flora and fauna from around the world—plus a few interactive surprises along the way!
@9newsdenver Photojournalist Bryan Wendland sat down with DZCA`s Guest Operations Manager James Weippert and Tianyu Event Manager An Li to share a behind-the-scenes look at this exciting evening event lighting up DZCA this spring.

Do you have gently used blankets, sheets, tablecloths or other cloth bedding that you’re no longer using and looking to rehome? Please consider donating them to our blanket-loving great apes! These materials are essential for building nests, playing, staying warm, and we go through a lot of them every year!
A donation station will be set up at the Boettcher Welcome Center, where you can drop off clean, gently used bedding. Please ensure items are free of zippers, tassels or other hanging elements. We will be accepting donations now through the end of March.
We’re extremely grateful for your generosity and support! 🦍 🦧
Our African wild dogs may be out of sight due to water main construction, but they’re never out of our hearts! 🐾 Check out this adorable snapshot of our pack all snuggled up together—showing off the strong family bonds that make them such incredible animals. Stay tuned for updates on when you can see them again!
