ZSL - Baby elephant update, penguin chicks, Silent Cinema and much more

Celebrating our herd of Asian elephants This month we're celebrating some of our larger animals at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, our herd of Asian elephants! Earlier this summer we saw the arrival of a baby elephant, named Elizabeth, after HM The Queen. This week we've been to visit Elizabeth to see how she's getting on. Watch our brand new video below. You can join us for a weekend of elephant fun at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo from 17-18 September 2016. Marking the worldwide Elephant Appreciation Weekend, Elephantastic will give you the chance to get up close and personal to our herd of Asian elephants. At ZSL London Zoo, our tiger cubs have been exploring their home with mum Melati- look out for an update on our cubs very soon.
