It was so cool to go behind-the-scenes to see the giraffes. We loved getting to feed and interact with them too. We got to meet many of the giraffes' "friends" as well. This was such a unique experience. Would highly recommend for any age!
Conservation Corner: Reticulated Giraffe
Giraffes are facing a silent extinction. We partner with Giraffe Conservation Foundation to help raise funds for tracking giraffes so researchers and law makers can work together to establish protected areas. We also monitor heights on all our giraffe and submit them to Wild Nature to be compared with data on wild giraffe. The more we know about them the easier they are to conserve!
