Zoo a mile south of my home welcomes a new female giraffe, name to be determined by a public contest. Adorable. Thank you for posting this photo. This was the first thread I opened this morning. Nice way to start the day. |

I'll bet that photo of the veldt on the right-hand wall makes them think they are really in southern Africa. A cell with a view.

Como is a great zoo, and will be a great home for this new addition.
That's a reticulated giraffe, by the way.

How about Carafe the Giraffe.
I'd drink to that.

Como Zoo's new giraffe now has a name -- Ivy. Turns out all the zoo's past and present giraffes are named after flowers or plants. Ivy's mom is named Zinnia. Ivy won out over Dahlia and Aster. Ivy weighed 132 pounds at birth (ouch!) and was standing at her full 6-foot height within an hour.  |
