Stop by Franklin Park Zoo on Saturday, June 21st to celebrate the first annual World Giraffe Day! This event is appropriately being held on the longest day or night (depending on the hemisphere) of the year in honor of the tallest and longest-necked animal. Stop by the Education Stations and learn more about threats facing these animals in the wild as well as ways that you can help support giraffe conservation efforts. There will also be zookeeper encounters throughout the day, which is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the giraffe family at Franklin Park Zoo – Beau, Jana and their little one Henrietta. Giraffe Day will be held on June 21st from 10:00am-2:00pm.
