Talking GiraffeCheck out this rare occurrence of our newest giraffe calf vocalizing. Vocalizations such as this one are incredibly rare for our staff who have over 60 years of combined experience working with giraffes. The newest member of our herd is continuing to bond with her mother and nurse. We are always thankful for your kind words and support as our herd has tripled in size within the last two years.
