The story began decades ago, with unforgettable characters like Kate, who became a local favourite and a true symbol of the zoo.
Over the years, the zoo has grown and adapted, always putting animal welfare first.
Only this week, a baby elephant was born in the herd and has quickly become the star attraction. These lovely photos celebrate the enormous, gentle beasts who inspire wonder and affection in every generation who see them.
