Our giraffe family at Whipsnade Zoo
Whipsnade Zoo is home to a family of reticulated giraffes, including two new arrivals! In 2025, we welcomed two giraffe calves, with female Leoni who was born to mum Luna on 18 November and a second calf born on 21 December to mum Ijuma.
Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for them on your next visit to our conservation Zoo.
