A male giraffe calf born on April 30th has joined the herd of Masai giraffes at the San Diego Zoo’s Urban Jungle exhibit.

Early this morning (April 30, 2019), the San Diego Zoo’s popular red and gold Giant Panda Friendship Wall was dismantled, marking the end of a month-long farewell celebration for the pandas.

The San Diego Zoo’s newest okapi calf, Elombe, has moved beyond the barn where he was born and is now occasionally venturing out to explore his expanded exhibit area at the San Diego Zoo.

Today (April 6, 2019), San Diego Zoo Global officials, Consul General Zhang Ping of the People’s Republic of China in Los Angeles and invited guests gathered to commemorate the successful end of San Diego Zoo Global’s current giant panda research program, and the beginning of a new era of panda conservation at the San Diego Zoo.
