Whether it's the three lion cubs who made their debut at the zoo in February of 2001, the Niagara Mohawk Rainforest exhibit which opened in the Summer of 2000 or the newest member of the elephant family, Preya, born in February of 2000, something exciting and new is always happening at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park. Our Elephant Family Get ready to encounter over 600 animals in diverse habitats ranging from the tropics to the woodlands.
