Those New Zoo Giraffes

Those two new giraffes arrived at the N.C. Zoo on Sunday. They are settling into their new environment and getting to know their new keepers.

The young male was born at Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Mo, the last day in May 2008; the young female was born at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, CO, one day earlier in May 2008.

The youngsters will be in quarantine for at least 30 days before their keepers begin the process of introducing the animals to their new exhibit.

We anticipate that they will be on exhibit by mid-April.
