Roosevelt Park Zoo News!
Roosevelt Park Zoo’s Giraffe Family Grows with Exciting New Arrival!
The Roosevelt Park Zoo is head over hooves with excitement to announce the arrival of a brand-new baby giraffe! Born at 10pm on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, inside the zoo’s state-of-the-art Giraffe Barn, this long-legged bundle of joy weighed in at a healthy 145 pounds and is already turning heads with his wobbly charm.
Proud parents Kianga (25) and Kioni (4) are doing wonderfully, and the little calf—who hasn’t been named yet—is already stealing hearts and stretching his neck toward the spotlight. His birth is part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan® (SSP), a program dedicated to ensuring the future of vulnerable species through thoughtful breeding and conservation efforts. This marks Kianga’s 11th calf to be born at the Roosevelt Park Zoo but is Kioni’s first.
