We always love seeing the videos and photos our guests share with us, and Cole Clementi recently took some lovely photos. Animals shown: rhino, giraffe, patas monkey, white-faced whistling duck, red-ruffed lemur, greater flamingo, and ring-tailed lemur. @coleclementiphotography

What is cute, tiny, and can fit in the palm of your hand?

Today is #InternationalZebraDay ! 🦓

How many individuals do you see in this dazzle of zebra? Seems easy enough, especially with a still image, but imagine keeping track of them in motion, now that would be challenging. You could say it would be dazzling!

Share Your Experience entry from Cherith Braae Cantando - 'Giraffe selfies we will never forget!'

During Thanksgiving week in 2018, despite heavy rain, the then 7-year-old granddaughter's love for cheetahs and giraffes led them on a memorable safari adventure to Safari West.

Malaika the giraffe recently celebrated her sweet 16! 🎉 And to celebrate, her caregivers mocked up a fun driver's license for her.

If you see a giraffe driving a truck, you at least know she has credentials. 🤣🦒🛻
