@animauxseauvageslove: Big (and grand) news…we welcomed a baby giraffe into the family Please say hello to Kendi! Yesterday morning, giraffe Kijiji gave birth to her first calf, Kendi ("beloved"). This amazing little female weighs approximately 150 pounds and stands 6.5 feet tall. Kijiji has already demonstrated her loving and protective nature by guiding her baby into the giraffe stable. A separate space has been set up by the keepers in the barn so Kendi and mama giraffe can bond peacefully. Kendi is expected to stay behind the scenes with mom for about two weeks for mom and her little one to develop their relationship. “We are very happy to have a new baby join the herd. With the expertise of our staff, we are ready to help Kijiji as she enters this stage of life as a new mother. Kijiji and Kendi will serve as ambassadors and educate guests about their wild giraffe counterparts. By having giraffes we hope to bring appreciation and awareness to the giraffe species, including the challenges they face in the wild. partners with the Reticulated Giraffe Project a conservation organization dedicated to working with local communities in Africa to help reduce human-wildlife conflict and habitat loss to preserve endangered wild giraffe populations. Welcome to the world, little one! 🦒 ❤️
