Re: Giraffe Cam
Kiko is in one of his favourite spots this morning.......sitting on his mat he looks a little bigger but I reckon he is still quite tiny really.

Re: Giraffe Cam
Nice update of the little cutie
I can't tell any difference in his size, but then again I don't have your expert eagle eye LW :) for the post.

Re: Giraffe Cam
I thought Kiko looked a little rounder and slightly taller sitting down this morning. I wasnt sure how fast they did grow but I found this little bit from the African Wildlife Foundation.
Nursery groups of young animals are left alone together during the day while their mothers feed. The 6-foot-tall calf grows rapidly as much as an inch a day. By 2 months the young giraffe is eating leaves and at 6 months is fairly independent of its mother. A young giraffe can even survive early weaning at 2 or 3 months. Although few predators attack adult giraffes, lions, hyenas and leopards take their toll on the young. Scientists report that only a quarter of infants survive their first year of life.
So Kiko would definitely be taller now.
Eagle Eyes take a while to develop GR.......WS is the oldest so really he should have the best eyes on the forum......i'm just a young pup in comparison

Re: Giraffe Cam
Very good info LW
But only 75% of giraffeys get to be adults
But they do help the leopardy's to live
It's just the way of the wild.
I wonder what WS will comeback with LW? The grandfather clock is ticking for you now too
