Baby giraffe makes public debut on Earth Day

STORY: After spending 32 days alone with its mother, the zoo's new member was ecstatic to meet its father "Krugger" and sister "Gema" in their enclosure, in the midst of Earth Day 2022.

Benito's birth and its presentation on Earth Day send a message of hope, since giraffes are an endangered species.

Earth Day, celebrated on April 22 each year, is a way to remind people of the urgent need to intensify actions to protect wildlife and the planet against the destruction caused by human activities.
