rothschild's giraffe

Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata and Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi | In the "African Savanna", actually been a while since I've seen them this upclose in the main Savanna area. I forgot their names, but it was cool to see the 2 species stand right next to each other

Likely one of the last photos I have of Jenga, who passed away October 23rd, 2024. Of the zoo's herd, he was identifiable by his height, dark neck and prominent facial bumps (March 2024.)
