Six-Feet-Tall and
Growing Fast

Spotted: a not-so-little new arrival. We recently celebrated the birth of a male Masai giraffe calf at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. After spending time bonding with his mom, the newborn is now getting to know the curious herd, who will help guide him as he grows.

Giraffe populations have declined by 30% over the past 30 years, and every birth supports a brighter future for this endangered species. With allies like you, we’re saving, protecting, and caring for giraffes and other vulnerable wildlife across our Savanna Conservation Hub. On your next visit to the Safari Park, stick your neck out and meet this gangly youngster.
