“Giraffes are currently listed as "vulnerable to extinction” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. At Animal Adventure Park, our top priority is preserving these beautiful, majestic creatures and increasing awareness of the threat giraffes are facing,” said Jordan Patch, owner of the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. “April’s prior pregnancy facilitated an immeasurable amount of education and appreciation for giraffes. We’re very proud of our captive management and propagation program and eager to continue doing all we can to help bring this species awareness and tangible results towards conservation.”
