Denver (KDVR) – On March 7, the Denver Zoo Coalition announced that it had a new member of the giraffes, and on Tuesday, the new member finally obtained a name.
After pregnancy for 444 days, I gave birth to BB, a retinal giraffe for adults, a healthy male wheel.
BB welcomed the new park alongside her companion, Jasiri, and Denver Zoo staff.
It was a great day for the new parents, the zoo and network population as a whole. The network giraffe is a species threatened with extinction, but it has another member in its list after the birth of the calf.
To help the new baby enhance his relationship with the Denver community, the Denver Zoo decided to allow the public to choose the calf name in a vote.
After about two months, the results are present. The Denver Zoo announced in a Social media video The name of the child’s giraffe is … a thorn!
The name was derived from thorny acacia trees that love giraffes.
Thorne appeared in the video alongside a giraffe troop and animal welfare specialist Amanda Valiano.
Thorne was previously living in isolation while he was visiting a bond with his parents and uncle Duby, but he is now in the eyes of the audience where the zoo visitors could visit him in his new home.
During his period in isolation, it is very clear how much it grows, as it now weighs 259 pounds, or more than 100 pounds heavier than it was at birth, according to the zoo. He does not eat solid food yet, but it seems that it mimics other giraffes when they skip the trees.
More than coordinating more than his previous viewing, it appears that the revolution is very active and social. Vallano said he loves to play with his games and enjoy him when the zoo and guest staff interact with him.
The zoo said that the reason that THORN is able to play with these games is that the community has not turned well to name this, but they also helped overcome the group of donations.
Money was used on new enrichment elements to help giraffes stay physically and mentally, and browses the feeding, a specialized supplement that supports BB during pregnancy and a soft and supportive pillar that helped ensure safe and sound access to the fork.
Vallano said that the zoo is grateful for support and help in naming her infant child.
