Meet Aurora, a 1-year-old Masai giraffe who recently joined our herd!

As we continue providing supportive care to our oldest giraffes, Milenna and Doc, as they deal with age-related mobility issues, our veterinary team has turned to a new diagnostic tool to help guide future treatments for the pair: thermography.  

It’s been over a year since Tisa, our newest and smallest Masai giraffe, joined our giraffe tower. This is how she’s doing.

We’ve gone shoe shopping for our 22-year-old Masai giraffe matriarch, Milenna! As Milenna has gotten older, she’s started to display some mobility issues and signs of pain in her legs. Some new shoes can help.

We wanted to give you a quick update on two of our more senior members of our giraffe tower, Milenna and Doc.

Our giraffe tower is getting a little larger! A 1-year-old female Masai giraffe, Tisa, has joined our group from her birthplace, the Virginia Zoo.
