Powerful Pachyderms

Ever wonder why elephants, rhinos, and hippos are called pachyderms? Why do elephants have trunks? What does a rhino use its horn for? Join us as we learn the answers to these questions and more about our elephants, rhinos, and hippos here at the Zoo. We will finish the class with a walk through the River’s Edge to see our powerful pachyderms.
