Whipsnade Zoo's youngest giraffe is celebrating his birthday in style.   

Where has that year gone?! Our youngest giraffe celebrated his 1st birthday on 26 April 2020 with a special birthday 'cake'. 

Zoo life continues for our animals and keepers while we're closed to the public. 

We’ll make sure you don’t miss out on any animal milestones. And if you'd like to celebrate Khari's birthday by making a donation, it will make a real difference. Thank you.
