Houston Zoo Houston Zoo news 2012-2015

That is MUCH larger than what I was anticipation for, and I had walked pat the construction several times.

I'll be going Saturday during member preview. Dave Matthews concert after so don't expect an update until Sunday.
 
So sorry about Pandu! He was lovely! I hope his companion will be alright.
 
I'd it just me, or does Houston seem to have a baby giraffe almost every 9 months?

Also what other facility acquires Massai giraffes As Houston seems to have a large, constantly repopulating stock?
 
Waco and Lufkin both house Masai in the state. Waco recently switched after the deaths of their Retics.
 
Could be a little out of date but Masais could be found at the following zoos as of july 2013.

Good info. I am still curious of rate of giraffe births at Houston. Seems very frequent. Is this a normal rate and is Houston designated as a chief Masai breeder?
