The Greenville Zoo is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ladybird, one of the zoo’s beloved African elephants. Ladybird was monitored closely over the last month after a recent episode of colic or abdominal pain as a result of the change in weather. Greenville Zoo staff discovered Ladybird lying down in the barn late Monday afternoon. “Our entire zoo family is heartbroken over this loss,” said Jeff Bullock, Zoo Director.

Autumn, the Greenville Zoo’s 7-year-old Masai giraffe, is pregnant again and is expected to give birth sometime this summer.

Nearly one million viewers worldwide watched the live stream of the Giraffe Exhibit on the zoo’s GiraffeCam, and viewers will once again have the opportunity to watch Autumn during her second pregnancy.
