Oh Baby! Korey is now 8 months old, and boy has he grown since his birth in December 2020. Arriving at approximately 6 feet tall, Korey is now over 10 feet tall! He's starting to look more like his daddy, BT, every day, as his pattern gets darker and darker.
Korey is the second giraffe calf born at RHZ. Both he and JoJo (Born in 2016) were sired by BT, our male giraffe who passed away last October. Korey’s mother is Billie, and JoJo’s mother is Zuri.
While both boys are the cutest giraffes ever, we thought it would be fun to see comparisons of our giraffe calves growing up. Korey was born with a darker coat pattern then Jojo, and continues to be the darker of the two. Jojo’s ossicones were much smaller and had less hair then Korey’s, as Korey had some very lush ossicones! Jojo was also smaller in size at birth, but had larger ears on his smaller face then Korey!
One thing is for certain. Our giraffes sure did make some cute babies!
