Zina’s Birthday!

JUL 18, 2026

Join us as we celebrate Zina’s Birthday!

It’s party time for one of the Zoo’s most unforgettable residents—Zina! As the oldest elephant at the Little Rock Zoo, Zina has earned her reputation for being delightfully sassy and never shy about sharing her opinions. You can spot her right away by her long, skinny trunk, which has partial paralysis from an old, injury.

Zina loves bananas, watermelon, and pumpkins, and she’s getting plenty of treats and birthday enrichment to enjoy on her big day. Come cheer her on, watch her explore something special made just for her, and be part of the celebration for this special elephant!

Fun Fact: Zina has known some of her keepers since before she arrived at the Little Rock Zoo! Want to hear more of her incredible story? Dive into a special blog post written by one of her dedicated caretakers, Kristen, who shares a heartfelt look at Zina’s journey.
