Three giraffe babies born at Gulf Breeze Zoo, just in time for the holidays
The Gulf Breeze Zoo is excited to announce the birth of not one, not two but three baby giraffes just in time for the holidays.
Park Director Cassidy Mazzone, along with Animal Care Staff, had been anticipating the births for the past 15 months which is the typical gestation period for giraffes. On Oct. 22 Artemis gave birth to a female calf named Arrow. The other two quickly followed with Sophia giving birth to a male calf named Salem on Oct. 25 and on Oct. 27 Kaliape, a female calf, was born to Kelly.
