We promised a big new arrival, and here he is: Stanley, our new Nubian bull giraffe 🦒
He arrived here at Longleat today to join our tower of females, who were all born here as part of the all-important European Breeding Programme, which helps conserve this critically endangered species for generations to come. We are hoping that Stanley's arrival will mean that we will hear the pitter patter of calf hooves once again in the near-future! 🤞
For now, Stanley and the girls are in the paddock adjacent to the giraffe house to let them mix and get to know each other. However, we hope to return them to the main reserve where giraffe feeding will resume on Saturday 13 June.
