YOU’RE HAVING A GIRAFFE......

The first giraffes in Wales are in residence in Pembrokeshire, by top tourist attraction.

Folly Farm.
Half-brothers Ja Ja, Taharqa and Khama, from Marwell Zoo in Winchester have been joined by Rafiki in a huge purpose-built African-themed enclosure. From there, they will be able to venture out into a five-acre paddock to roam alongside zebra.

The tallest of the group, and fully grown at 18 feet, is eight-year-old Rafiki, with his half-brothers aged between two and six and on course to also reach his lofty height.
The boys - who are friendly and inquisitive, and love to be hand-fed by their keepers.
So get your skates on and come and meet the boys in the Motobo Hills African Plains area of the zoo.
