Description

Press release from the Reid Park Zoo: She spends most of her time with her big sister Nandi — the first elephant born in Arizona, who will be 8 years old this summer. Nandi has grown up before our eyes, and gracefully grown into the role of big sister to Penzi. You can join us this weekend to celebrate Penzi's birthday with sweet treats and lots of fun activities. Every member of the herd is an impactful ambassador for their species, helping those who visit the Zoo connect with wildlife, discover how magnificent elephants are, and inspire them to explore what can be done to support conservation efforts happening worldwide. That brings us to the other reason today is special. Today is Arizona Gives Day, an annual spring celebration of giving to nonprofits in our state.
