 Lily, the newest addition to the zoo's giraffe family, was raised in Memphis, Tennessee. She arrived at the zoo in late 2023. However, 2024 marks her first year out on the grounds for visitors to meet and greet. Fort Wayne Children's Zoo reminds everyone that June 21st is World Giraffe Day, and the zoo will offer special chats with the giraffe handlers, as well as feedings and trainings on the giraffe platform in the African Journey attraction at the zoo.
