Description
Taronga has 4 giraffes. 3 females; Nyota (DOB: 5th Jan 1992), Zarafa (DOB: 6th July 2003) and Kitoto (DOB: 5th Feb 2010), and one male named Jimiyu (DOB: 6th Feb 2006).
To help preserve giraffe populations, boycott products made with giraffe body parts and encourage others to do the same. It is always a good idea to avoid products made from animal parts while overseas.
Giraffe populations are challenged because of poaching and shrinking habitat. The animals' tails are made into good-luck bracelets, fly whisks and thread for stringing beads, according to the African Wildlife Foundation. As agricultural settlement expands, the giraffe's main source of food, the acacia tree, is being cut down.
