How we are helping
Time for Breakfast
Tuesday 1st May 2012

Breakfast time at the Giraffe exhibit at Taronga Western Plains Zoo is busy with 10 Giraffes all vying for the best position at the food box when the horse pellets get poured in.  The Giraffe are feed a mixture of hay, carrots, horse pellets and tree branches during the day.

Asmara is always one of the first Giraffe to the food.  She is a little bossy and doesn’t mind letting the other Giraffe in the herd know that she is the boss.

She is also a little tech-savvy for a Giraffe, as she thought she would try to take the video camera with her…luckily it was secured to the fence but it finished up with a lot of slobber on it!
