Meet weeks' old giraffe calf Jabali!
We’re excited to take you on the journey of Jabali’s first few weeks of life!
In this video, we follow ungulates keepers Vicky and Ben as they discuss being there for giraffe calf Jabali’s birth on 19 August, and introducing him to his habitat mates the zebra, ostrich and guinea fowl for the first time.
To ensure Kiraka’s pregnancy and labour went well, our keepers were watching her closely via CCTV cameras. This enabled the team to head to the Zoo immediately at signs that her labour was about to begin – and you can see this incredible footage in our video.
You can visit Jabali and his giraffe whānau this long weekend – we’re open Saturday, Sunday and Monday (26 September) from 9.30am – 4.30pm with last entry at 3.30pm.
