Just in time for World Giraffe Day on June 21, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo welcomed Rocket, its newest Masai giraffe. Rocket is a 7-year-old male that comes to Cleveland from Turtle Back Zoo at the recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
He joins the zoo’s female adult giraffes, Jada and Jhasmin, and guests can now visit him daily! You can spot Rocket in the yard as he’s the tallest giraffe. He’s already about 16 feet tall and, as a young adult male, he’s still growing!
For more video and virtual fun, visit the zoo’s Facebook page.
