Have you ever seen a giraffe drinking water? 💧

We were lucky to capture a video of our female giraffe ‘Moshi’ having a drink from a super high water trough, but seeing giraffes drink water is not a common sight. 🦒 For such a tall animal, bending down to get a drink from a pool can put them in a vulnerable position – particularly when predators are around. Luckily, giraffes are able to get most of their moisture from plants! 🌿

Did you know that Santa’s reindeer are female? 🦌

Woodland caribou like ‘Avens’ (left) and ‘Primrose’ (right) are the only deer species where both males and females have antlers. Both males and females shed and regrow their antlers year after year, but while males shed their antlers by early November, females keep theirs longer to protect their young.

Happy ! 🍉

Growing big and strong starts with good nutrition! 😋 While our female Malayan tapir calf 'Nyawa' is still nursing from mom 'Sempurna', she is also eating lots of plant material and gains about one kilogram a day! ⚖️
