Winter is (finally!) coming to an end it seems, and the elephants at Denver Zoo are taking to the water to beat the heat! Here in Toyota Elephant Passage, there are more than 1 million gallons of water in numerous pools throughout the entire ten acre habitat that the elephants cool off in throughout the summer. In fact, our oldest elephant Groucho can often be found taking naps and sleeping in the pools! Here, Billy, our 10 year old, is taking one of his first swims of the season. | Denver Zoo C

Say hello to Thorn! The Denver Zoo’s newest baby giraffe has officially been named—and it’s a perfect fit. Named after the thorny trees giraffes love to munch on in the wild, this 250-pound beauty is already turning heads with her long legs and even longer lashes. Stop by and say hi to Thorn on your next visit! #DenverZoo #BabyGiraffe #ThornTheGiraffe #DenverAnimals #ZooBabies #ColoradoWildlife | I'm From Denver
