Above 50 degrees, we're pretty much business as usual. |
Mrs. Turner and her husband (Cal) wanted giraffes at the zoo and worked hard along with many others to get them here. Naming one after Margaret seemed right. |
Parking is a challenge. You can't expect to show up five minutes beforehand. We recommend people arrive at least an hour before the start of the egg hunt in order to find a parking spot, walk in from the lot and arrive at Festival Field. |
The Giraffe Savannah is next to the Elephant Savannah, which really gives people a nice landscape of the African plains area. |
The habitat is absolutely gorgeous. It is much larger than I had anticipated. The giraffes have quite a bit of room to roam around in. |
These guys are all under 2 years old and are adjusting well. The females are out in the habitat, but Congo is a bit hesitant. He is still loitering around in the barn facility, but he'll be out moving about within a day or two. |
