WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Tanganyika’s “baby boom” is in full swing. Just weeks after pygmy hippo Mars made global headlines with over 40 million views, the park is celebrating another set of towering arrivals: three playful giraffe calves, born within six weeks of each other.
While giraffes don’t have a fixed breeding season, resident bull, Davis, tends to synchronize breeding, making it common for multiple calves to arrive close together.
“It’s been incredible to watch so many young animals grow alongside each other this year,” Hoofstock Supervisor Sierra Smith said.“Whether it’s Mars making waves in the pool or these calves running zoomies, they’re all helping guests connect with wildlife in new ways.”
