Let’s hear it for Kirby! This cutie is now 2.5 months old, weighing in at 539 pounds. Kirby is an inquisitive elephant and has been hitting milestones on nursing, using her trunk, receiving baths, and exploring her surroundings.

The best time of day to see Kirby is between 10am-2pm. Get your Kirby fix during your next visit. She's usually with mom Shanti, Methai, and Winnie. In the meantime, watch a replay of this week’s livestream. Link in bio.
