It was with great pleasure that we welcomed our first female giraffe to the zoo last Wednesday to hopefully start a new breeding program with Achilles our other Giraffe.
It’s been a long process to get her here but she has already settled in to her new surroundings, and she and Achilles are getting on very well.
She has arrived from the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic and was transport by road and sea, which took nearly 2 days. However the guys from the Dvůr Králové Zoo are very used to transporting such large animals and have delivered over 100 giraffes over the last few years to Zoos all over the world.
