At first, a separate area was set up by keepers in the giraffe barn for the mother and calf to peacefully bond without the distraction of other herd members. Then on Oct. 30, Kendi made her debut in the large giraffe habitat where the public can view her. The zoo wants Kijiji and Kendi to serve as ambassadors, helping to educate guests about their wild giraffe cousins and the challenges they face in the wild. By having giraffes at the zoo, the hope is to bring appreciation and awareness to the species.
