Behind that Rock...a Giraffe!

Introductions of the NC Zoo's two new male giraffes to its elderly female began today, in the off-exhibit stalls here.

As that continues, just the female will be on exhibit this weekend. Interim general curator Ken Reininger recommends that if at first you do not see her Saturday or Sunday you wait a little while. "She stands at the gate looking at the boys," Ken notes, referring to a spot hidden behind large, artificial rocks near the Forest Edge exhibit's lower viewing area.
