On April 12, "Swazi" the matriarch female elephant gave birth to the largest baby ever born at the Wild Animal Park. He tipped the scales at 268 lbs! Compared to "Lutsandvo" who's name means "Love" in the SiSwati language, who only weighed in at about 220 lbs to mother Ndlulamitsi (en loo la Mit see) on February 14, 2010. The newest baby has not been named yet. Here are some precious moments between Moms, babies and siblings! These next few are of "Lutsandvo" ...
These next few are "Swazi" and her new baby!
Here's a few more of my favorite shots of the day...
This Zebra was taking a dust bath...
This was also the last day of Butterfly Jungle for this year...
I LOVE Bamboo and the reflections in the water of the Flamingos...
I couldn't resist these sillouettes in the parking lot just before leaving the Park..
Hope you enjoyed your visit! Come back soon!

















Adorable! Pam, I am a huge fan of your nature/animal photos!
