El Paso Zoo Gets New Animals

The El Paso Zoo Passport to Africa habitat has eight new antelope living in the northern savanna area of the Africa exhibit.

Joining the giraffe herd are a pair of greater kudu and a family of Thomson’s gazelles.

The Zoo’s Director Steve Marshall said, “multi-species exhibits like the Africa savanna come together nicely when you put animals together that live in the same habitat in the wild. The process of getting the animals used to each can take months depending on the ages of the animals and their different personalities.”
