Our matriarch elephant, Nala, is the heart of her herd. As the leader, she ensures the younger elephants learn essential survival skills, even within the safety of the zoo. Nala has a remarkable memory, often remembering specific visitors who interact with her regularly.
One of her most touching behaviors is her habit of comforting younger elephants with gentle trunk touches. Nala also participates in enrichment activities that include solving puzzles to retrieve treats, showcasing her intelligence and problem-solving skills.
