A few days later, Daniel, a 20-month-old reticulated giraffe from The Living Desert Zoo and Gardensin California, joined him<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0 . Not yet fully grown, the young giraffes today stand at 11 and 13 feet tall. Both giraffes are settling in well as the first residents of WildCare Park\u2019s state-of-the-art, 38.5- foot-tall giraffe barn. Several more giraffes are expected to move into their new home at the park within the next year with as many as 10 to 15 living at WildCare Park by the 2027 opening.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cGiraffes will be some of WildCare Park\u2019s largest and most iconic species,\u201d said Martha Fischer, general curator at WildCare Park. \u201cAs our herd grows, I know the sight of a dozen or more of these remarkable animals roaming the landscape will be unforgettable for guests.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first giraffes\u2019 arrival follows the recent introduction of a five-member southern white rhino herd to WildCare Park in September, another important milestone as the safari park continues totake shape.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">All moves were recommended by the Association of Zoos &amp; Aquariums Species Survival Plan (SSP), a collaborative breeding program among accredited North American zoos.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Giraffes will also continue to live at the Saint Louis Zoo in Forest Park.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The WildCare Park giraffes will spend most of their time in the 101-acre Savanna Safari pasture, one of many habitats within the park\u2019s 425 acres located near the confluence of the Mississippi<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">and Missouri rivers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0 Guided safari truck tours will take guests into this habitat of native plants dotted with five small lakes where they will be able to view the giraffe herd with no barriers. The giraffes will share the habitat with several other species including Grevy\u2019s zebra, wild cattle (banteng,) ostrich and several rare antelope species (scimitar-horned oryx, greater kudu, waterbuck and Nile lechwe).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Savanna Safari will be one of two guided safari truck experiences at WildCare Park. The second, the Woodland Safari, will take guests through 63 acres that will be home to a herd of southern white rhinoceros along with about 30 other animals.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0 The WildCare Park giraffes will also have access to shelter in the park\u2019s new, 22,000-square-foot giraffe barn.

Adult males typically grow to 16 to 18 feet tall, while females are somewhat smaller at 14 to 16 feet. Due to their height, their competition for food is minimal in the savannas of Eastern Africa.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Giraffes are facing significant conservation challenges, with several subspecies classified as vulnerable or endangered. Wild giraffe populations have declined by about 40% over the past three decades, dropping to fewer than 120,000 today, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. All giraffe species remain threatened by drought, hunting and habitat loss.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Saint Louis Zoo supports community-based conservation of giraffes and their savanna habitats through the Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute Center for Conservation in the Horn of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Africa.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Giraffe-Mo.-Photo-courtesy-of-Reid-Park-Zoo.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28920\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Giraffe-Mo.-Photo-courtesy-of-Reid-Park-Zoo.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Giraffe-Mo.-Photo-courtesy-of-Reid-Park-Zoo.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Giraffe-Mo.-Photo-courtesy-of-Reid-Park-Zoo.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Giraffe-Mo.-Photo-courtesy-of-Reid-Park-Zoo.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Giraffe-Mo.-Photo-courtesy-of-Reid-Park-Zoo.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">WildCare Park features two different, but complementary components.

This area will not be open to he public and is focused on sustaining endangered and threatened species.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Today, WildCare Park is home to more than 70 animals including some of the most endangered species in the world. Herds at WildCare Park include southern white rhinos, Bactrian camels, wildcattle, wild horses and several antelope species with many more animals on the way.
