💕🤠🐘 Come on, Nhi Linh, let’s go party! 🎶 At 10:30 a.m., join us in the Elephant Community Center for a pink Cowgirl birthday bash in honor of our youngest Asian elephant, who turns 11 years old today. Sign Nhi Linh’s edible card, chat with interpreters, and watch her chow down on a fruitsicle cake shaped like a cowgirl hat-complete with a watermelon crown, sweet potato buckle and green bean brim. An “11” cake topper will be “pretty in pink” and made of frozen-diluted cranberry juice, raspberries, apples and strawberries. 📽️ Or, join the ele-FUN from home via our Elephant Cam: s.si.edu/4cscnNK.

“When Nhi Linh likes something-or doesn’t like something-she isn’t shy about letting us know!” says keeper Ashley Fortner. Whether she is stealing a snack out of her best bud Spike’s mouth or banging sticks against the cables to scare away squirrels, there’s no denying her spunky personality and playful spirit.

❤️🌏 YOU CAN HELP ELEPHANTS | The products you buy affect animal habitats the world over. Deforestation-particularly due to unsustainable palm oil farming practices-is one of the main reasons Asian elephants are critically endangered. In protecting land for elephants, you also protect thousands of other species that share their habitat, including tigers, orangutans and pangolins. When you shop, look for products made with sustainable palm oil-they’re elephant-friendly!
