Animal Adventure Park, home to April and her newborn calf, Tajiri, welcomed an 11-year-old named Alex for a special day-long visit, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“When we received the call from Make-A-Wish, this was truly a no-brainer for us,” said Jordan Patch, owner of Animal Adventure Park. “April has had such an impact worldwide and we want to ensure that her exposure not only has an impact on animal conservation efforts but also on any lives that she can touch in a positive way.”
