Meet Our Giraffes
Giraffes are the tallest mammals on earth — their legs alone are taller than most people. When you visit the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s giraffes, be prepared to look up. Way up!

Where We Live
Masai giraffes are found in Kenya and Tanzania, while the reticulated giraffes live in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia. They like to roam in small groups and make their homes in woodlands and dry, open acacia savannahs.

Did You Know?
Giraffe legs can pack a real punch. Full-grown giraffes can kick hard enough to break a lion’s skull or spine.
