Walt Disney World Resort recently welcomed two male calves to the giraffe herd at Disneys Animal Kingdom.
Weighing 153 pounds, Bolo was born October 12 to second-time mother Big Girl, who first birthed a female calf in November 2005. On October 5, the Disneys Animal Programs team helped to deliver 166-pound calf Bruehler from third-time mother Aibuni. As newborns, both male calves stand nearly six feet tall and could grow to be as tall as 15 18 feet as adults. Both calves and mothers appear to be doing well according to veterinarians and animal care managers. The young males, who began nursing successfully soon after birth, are already feisty and very active.
These two latest bundles of joy represent the 13th and 14th giraffes born at Disneys Animal Kingdom since opening in 1998. Giraffes at Walt Disney World Resort are bred through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Population Management Plan, which is a consortium of zoos and wildlife parks working together to conserve and breed animals.
Thanks!
