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.

We have some BIG news to share: our 12-year-old Masai giraffe Kumi is pregnant!  

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.

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.
