Twiga Oasis
We’re excited to announce the opening of our brand-new Giraffe exhibit, the Twiga Oasis! This sanctuary for the Zoo’s reticulated giraffes and Thomson's gazelles will offer an extraordinary new Zoo experience – giraffe feeding!
As the giraffes settle into their new state-of-the-art home, they may need a little time to warm up to new humans and get accustomed to frequent hand-feedings. Our animal care team will be working closely with our long-legged friends during this early stage, letting the animals set the pace for this new adventure and decide when and how often they're ready for a tasty treat. Stay tuned for an announcement on when the feeding experience officially opens!
