A nearly 6-foot-tall bundle of joy has arrived at Brevard Zoo! An 119-pound female giraffe calf was born to 12-year-old mother, Kumi, and 6-year-old father, Mapenzi. This little one is the first giraffe born at Brevard Zoo since Mapenzi’s birth in 2020!
We’re egg-static! An endangered West African crowned crane chick has hatched at the Zoo. West African crowned cranes are endangered in their native African range due to habitat loss and other growing threats. This means every individual, like this little chick, are critical successes for the future of this species.
We’re head over hooves over this BIG news: our 3-year-old Masai giraffe, Tisa, is pregnant!
In honor of World Giraffe Day, we’re sharing the quirkiest traits and fondest memories of each of our Masai giraffes.
There’s a new guy in town, and he’s already turning heads. We recently welcomed Oliver, a 3-year-old male Eastern bongo who arrived from New Orleans.
