After learning of the passing of Kubwa at Dudley Zoo, it got me thinking about which UK zoos have giraffes and which subspecies. I've had a quick look on Zootierliste, and notice that most of the giraffes are either Rothschild or 'no subspecies status', with a few Reticulated and one holder for...

These can be seen on the Harambe Wildlife Reserve during the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride.

This is sort of like a finished product of a thread @Jaxton created a couple years ago and I'd also like to thank @EsserWarrior for your help! It should be noted that there are a couple...

The interior of the giraffe house at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

This is the largest building in Reast City Zoo (my city zoo in Planet Zoo). It houses African savannah elephants, reticulated giraffes, plains zebras, warthogs and in the future maybe springboks. It is inspired on the Bronx Zoo's Zoo Center, but I am naming it after the main species: elephants.

This is my enclosure for giraffes and zebras in my Planet Zoo city zoo called Reast City Zoo. This is a view from the left side. The stable is inspired on the typical Rotterdam Zoo stables and is for the zebras. The giraffes' indoor enclosure is located in a remake of Bronx Zoo's Zoo Center.
