Houston – Spring break is almost here, and today on Houston Life, the team is got a unique, behind-the-scenes look with our friends at the Houston Zoo!
Tessa Barrera is hanging out with the elephants, including the adorable baby Kirby, to learn how the zoo cares for both the youngest and oldest members of the herd. She also got an exclusive tour of the elephant care process and how a partnership with Baylor College of Medicine is working to save elephants from Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesviruses.
Meanwhile, Lauren Kelly shared how your old electronics can help save gorilla habitats in the wild.
Melanie Camp is stepping back in time with TXU Energy Presents Jurassic Giants! She’ll learn about the dozens of dinosaurs they have, which are bigger than ever!
Together, Mel and Lauren took us on a ride on the Houston Zoo carousel, where 64 different animals can be spotted, but, one of them is unique to the Houston Zoo! Watch the video player to find out!
And Derrick Shore is teaming up with KPRC 2 Chief Meteorologist Anthony Yanez for a look at everything else the Houston Zoo has to offer this spring break.
No Houston Life trip to the zoo is complete without a look at the tasty treats, grub, and merchandise available to purchase. We closed out our action-packed hour looking at how you can fuel and remember your trip.
