Fort Worth Zoo’s Little Lady Receives Her Name

Following the Zoo’s late September announcement of the birth of a female Asian elephant calf, the Fort Worth Zoo’s newest elephant now has her name: Lady Bird! Over the course of 11 days, more than 18,000 individuals cast their vote between the three name selections chosen by Zoo staff. This little one’s new name is an ode to Lady Bird Johnson, the beloved First Lady from Texas who was known for her love of nature and wildflowers. She understood the critical need for native plant life and their importance to our ecosystems. She was the driving force behind beautifying our Texas highways, planting wildflowers (like bluebonnets) along the roadways to make a lasting contribution. Lady Bird Johnson’s legacy quite literally blooms across Texas and will continue to for generations to come! Our littlest elephant now weighs 320 pounds and is showing great signs of confidence and curiosity — venturing off on her own, but never out of sight of Mom! We can’t wait to continue to share every new milestone with you all as little Birdie grows up! 🩶🐘
