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 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.
We are sad to share that Floyd, our 9-year-old Masai giraffe, was humanely euthanized after receiving an extensive exam for ongoing health issues. He was known for his sweet demeanor and was beloved by his animal care team.
Learn about some of this year’s new animals who came to our Zoo as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan.
