From the opening ceremony to the first footsteps through the gates, today was a celebration years in the making. Elephant Valley was designed to inspire greater empathy, understanding, and appreciation for these gentle giants, and we couldn't be more proud to share this space with the world.

Using drones, scientists safely fly through a whale’s misted exhale, capturing droplets that reveal hormones, disease markers, and DNA. These tiny samples hold enormous insight and allow us to help monitor their individual health in real time.

Southern Resident killer whales are critically endangered. To help protect them, researchers from San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, alongside partners from @seadocsociety.bsky.social and @noaa.gov, are pioneering a new approach: collecting their breath.

What do kangaroos, koalas, and even wombats have in common? They're all marsupials, a group of mammals whose females carry babies in built-in pouches. These amazing Aussie species all give birth to babies about the size of jellybeans, which then nestle into their mother's pouches to finish growing.
