Happy Elephant Appreciation Day!

Did you know elephants can be right- or left-trunked and right- or left-tusked? Just like humans have a dominant hand, elephants tend to have a dominant way of using their trunks to scoop and a preferred tusk that they use more often. Dickerson Park Zoo is home to four Asian Elephants. Two cows Patience and Moola and two bulls Hugo and Indy. We are so proud to take part in the conservation of this amazing species!
