According to ISIS there have been three griraffe births at Monarto recently. Would someone (Ben?) be able to give me details about these please?
 
Sorry i dont know, all i can tell you is the father is Tambo, the mothers i am not sure, not up to date on the giraffe names, they always drop them around this time of year. Monarto is closed today though, too hot, fire risk, second day these school holidays
 
Doesn't Monarto now have something like 17-20 giraffes? I'm pretty sure that it is the largest collection in Australia, and actually would be comparable to the majority of open range zoos anywhere outside of Africa.
 
There are about 18 or 19 on display, but another batchelor group out back.

I think the figure is closer to 30 than 20 individuals.
 
I wish the SA zoos would put out more media releases when they have births. Mind you 3 or more giraffe births in a month might get a bit boring for most people (not me though)
