Grace, the giraffe, was born in the zoo as part of an international conservation program. Her arrival was celebrated, as giraffes face increasing threats from habitat loss and poaching. From her first wobbly steps to her elegant strides today, Grace has become a symbol of hope for her species.
Grace’s enclosure mimics the African savanna, complete with acacia trees and open spaces. She enjoys interacting with visitors, especially during feeding sessions, where she carefully plucks lettuce leaves from eager hands with her long, prehensile tongue.
Grace’s story underscores the importance of preserving habitats for giraffes and educating people about the challenges these gentle giants face in the wild. Her presence in the zoo is a testament to the role zoos play in conservation and education.
