return to the giraffes!

March 13, 2020

I was very fortunate to be able to revisit White Oak Conservation in Northwest Florida.  If you remember my post, the giraffes were my favorite animals at White Oak and I was so excited to have the opportunity to visit them once again!

White Oak is one of the world’s premiere wildlife breeding, education, and training facilities.  This wildlife conservation facility spans 13,000 acres of pine and hardwood forest and wetlands.  Its mission is to save endangered wildlife and habitats through sustainable conservation breeding, education, and responsible land stewardship.

Meet Jigsaw and some of the other giraffes I was able to meet!

Did I scare you?  I threw a photo of this cassowary in here since you may have never seen one.  This one at White Oak is the first one I’ve ever seen!  Scary looking, isn’t it?  Considered one of the most dangerous birds in the world!  The cassowary can sprint as fast as 31 miles per hour and can kill a human being with slashing blows of its feet!  Huge contrast to the sweet, gentle giraffes!
