Sadly, Kedou, a 15 years old male kordofan giraffe, passed away. The park still has 3 other bulls (bachelor group).

I know I am bringing up an old news item, but ... anyway I would appreciate some more information... Do you know which of the bull giraffe are still here?

Historically, Lisieux held only one hybrid giraffe bull (I don't have his name) and he was joined in/around 2009 by 4 other bachelor bulls: 2 from Emmen Zoo (one unbeknownest and Tamu) plus each a bull from Jurques-Cabosse (Malik) and - of course - Kedou from Sables d'ozonnes.
