Good shot. Love the Whipsnade giraffe group though I don't quite know why.
The new male doesn't look too small to cover the female already in this photo, although the other two are rather bigger/taller than 'Savanah'. Afaik she is the only(?) female calf born to the original 2.3. Reticulateds they obtained, all of which have since died. But they are well set-up again now with 1.4, the best grouping they have had for a long time, presuming(hopefully) Willow grows to maturity and they can keep her.
Colourwise they look more similar in this shot but his is still a bit darker/richer.
