Giraffe House September 21, 2011

The Giraffe House is home to The Maryland Zoo's herd of reticulated giraffe, as well as okapi. Tour participants will walk through the keeper area and spend time visiting and possibly feeding the giraffe through the many viewing windows. Keepers will explain what makes these species unique, how the animals are managed and cared for, as well as their status in the wild. The tour also includes learning about our okapi, a unique creature that is a close relative of the giraffe.
