Spectacular news - a female Asian Elephant calf was born last month to Bluebonnet!

Fort Worth Zoo on Instagram: "SURPRISE! Meet our new little lady! Our Asian elephant herd has officially grown by one tiny trunk with the birth of a healthy baby girl – Bluebonnet’s first female calf (third overall) and Brazos’ little sister! This bundle of joy was born in the early morning hours of Monday, Aug. 18, to mom, Bluebonnet, the very first elephant calf born in the history of the Zoo back in 1998. Over the past month, our new little one has remained behind the scenes, bonding with mom and integrating into our multi-generational herd. And the best part? Today, she makes her debut on-habitat in Elephant Springs for all to see! (You can now see her daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., weather permitting) The only thing this baby is missing is … a name! As is tradition, all of the elephant calves born here at the Zoo sport Texas-themed names, and for this one, we’re leaning in on the Texas flower-themed names, as a nod to mom, Bluebonnet. Read more about the name choices and vote for your favorite from now until Oct. 6, at the link in our bio! Welcome to the herd, little one! "

As of now: What’s the development of the Forest Region? What Animals are going to be in it and what animals are going to move in the former enclosures or being brought back?
 
I was first introduced to this Zoo when I was a Toddler from an Old VHS Tale, Barney the Dinosaur in Barney Let’s Go to the Zoo was filmed there.
