Now that the pool is full, Auntie Kirina is very excited to show Tukada the joys of swimming! Tukada is still being cautious, and hasn’t quite ventured into the deep end, but he is certainly encouraged by Kirina’s confidence.

“We’re elephant keepers, of course you can ask us about elephants!” 🐘 With less than 50,000 Asian elephants left in the wild, The Rosamond Gifford Zoo is proud to participate in the Asian Elephant Species Survival Plan. Of the 237 institutions accredited by the AZA, we are one of only eight Asian elephant breeding facilities and we thank our elephant care team for their dedication to the preservation of this magnificent species every day. #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #OnondagaCounty #OnondagaCou

Our little elephant demolition crew got right to work spreading the sand delivery in the barn! Our elephants always have access to a sand yard, whether inside or outside, and the #EleTwins love climbing and playing in the fresh sand delivery. Their “little” 2,000 pound selves actually help us spread the sand around the stalls!

Meet Asian elephant calf Yaad! Yaad and his twin brother were born on October 24, 2022. Elephant twins are incredibly rare, making up less than 1% of elephant births worldwide. He is a little ball of energy who is always playing with something, from branches or browse to his brother!

Meet Asian elephant Tukada! Born on October 24, 2022, Tukada was a complete surprise to our staff, and was born around 10 hours after his brother! Tukada is calm and playful, and is more of a water-baby than his twin brother. If there is a new toy or a pool, Tukada will be the first to explore it.

The pool party continues! This time, Yaad joined Tukada, if only for a little bit. It’s so fun to see how the twins' personalities differ. Yaad is usually the calf who acts more independent, straying farther from the adults and generally being braver in the face of new experiences – except when it comes to water, apparently! From the first time with the little blow up pool, Tukada has been much more of a “water-baby” and stays in the pool for much longer than his brother. Video from Elephant Car

60 seconds of (sped-up) #EleTwins Shenanegans. Please join us in wishing our rambunctious twin boys, Yaad and Tukada, a very happy 3rd birthday! At three years old, our “little” bull calves are not so little anymore, weighing over 2,000 pounds each. Their tusks, their minds, and their desire for independence are all growing fast. Just last year Yaad and Tukada would run between the members of their herd, eager to stay within a trunk’s reach of the adults. Now, the boys venture the entire length

Is your pool open for the summer? Our elephant pool sure is! Doesn’t matter the weather, the #EleTwins (especially Tukada) love splish splashing about! Check out this video of Tukada playing with his favorite pool toy – a very buoyant stick! Our elephant’s 50,000-gallon watering hole goes from 3 to 6 feet deep. The pool was one of the first in North America with a green infrastructure bio-filtration system that produces zero impact on municipal stormwater and sewer systems. #Syracusezoo #Syracus

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Sunday to celebrate our miracle #EleTwins Yaad and Tukada’s third birthday! If you remember from last year, the boys waited for the adults in the herd to come explore the party setup and special treats – but this year, Yaad and Tukada had no hesitation charging straight in for their big birthday bash, featuring cardboard enrichment of all their animal friends, created by Elephant Care Specialist Cassie!

Happy #BrothersDay from our miracle #EleTwins! Play fighting, or sparring, is serious business for elephant calves – especially the males! Yaad and Tukada engage in important play behavior, putting their trunks on each other's heads, tackling, headbutting, and pushing each other. While these activities are playful for now, they will help teach the young males how to successfully compete for dominance once they reach sexual maturity. When the calves have had enough or need a break from the play,

If you guessed an elephant rumbling, you were correct! #EleTwin Yaad demonstrates the low-frequency rumbling sound that elephants can use to communicate with each other. Rumbles can travel through the air or ground over distances as large as 10 kilometers! Our random winner is Amber LaPlante, who was one of only 4 people to guess the correct animal. Amber, we have a guest pass and two Zoo Boo tickets for you. Zoo Boo takes place every weekend in October, get your tickets today! rosamondgiffordzo

There is no better gift than the joy of watching two elephant calves “opening” their presents. Would anyone else get this excited for jellybeans? 😂 The zoo is closed today, but we hope everyone is relaxing and spending time with the people (and animals) they love.❤️ Happy holidays! #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #EleTwins #AsianElephant #Elephants #ElephantCalf #BabyElephant #HappyHolidays | Rosamond Gifford Zoo

The birth of Yaad and Tukada on October 24, 2022 was nothing short of extraordinary; less than 1% of elephant births result in twins, and there had never before been a case of surviving twin elephant calves in any North American zoo. Each day since that miraculous October morning has been just as remarkable, and it has been an incredible privilege to watch these brothers grow bigger, stronger, and smarter every day. Happy birthday! #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #AsianElephant #Elephants #ElephantC

No hesitation, Asian elephant calf Yaad went right to the Chiefs! 🏈 This is actually the second year in a row Yaad picked the Chiefs, he’s really doubling down. Tukada was just happy to be there. ❤️ Did you know that there are less than 50,000 Asian elephants left in the wild due to habitat loss and human-elephant conflict? That's less than the number of seats at the Allegiant Stadium where the Super Bowl will take place this weekend. We are proud to participate in the Asian Elephant Species Su
