Today’s image was chosen to celebrate the recent opening of The Houston Zoo’s newly renovated McNair Asian Elephant Habitat. Read the details HERE.

Unfortunately, this sculpture by Robert Fowler is of an African elephant. Oops.

Located at the Zoo’s West Entrance, the life sized steel sculpture weighs five tons and was donated to the Zoo by Isabell and Max Herzstein in 1982.

  2. Dont worry...an elephant always remains an elephant. En français : Bof, un éléphant, c'est toujours un éléphant.
