Have you ever wondered how to tell our giraffes apart?
We currently have 3 adult giraffes in the yard: Melman, Mary, and Jane! 💛 Here are a few tips to help you tell them apart:
🦒 Melman is our only adult male and the tallest of the group! He has very large, distinctive ossicones (the horn-like structures on top of his head) and the darkest coloring of our three giraffes.
🦒 Mary is our shortest giraffe! She has much darker spots than our other female, especially on her face, with smaller spaces between her spots.
🦒 Jane is our lightest-colored giraffe! Her spots are a lighter brown, with much more space between them. She also has the most white on her face.
Now that you know their differences, do you think you can spot Mary, Melman, and Jane next time you visit? 👀🦒💕
