In the wild Giraffe are found in the Sub-Saharan of Africa becoming increasingly rare in the West.  They are normally found in groups.  Female giraffe associate in groups of a dozen or so members occasionally including a couple of young males.  Males tend to live in "bachelor" herds, with older males often leading solitary lives.

CREATURE FEATURE: HERE COME THE BOYS!

Folly Farm's five male Giraffe are the only ones you can see in Wales and we're extremely proud to have them in our collection.  Rafiki, Zulu and Taharqa arrived at Folly Farm in April 2009 and were joined by 18 month old Rian in May 2010 and four year old Sillan in November 2010.
