I had seen the story earlier, but missed the part that this 20-month-old Masai giraffe was named Providence prior to the city's Roger Williams Park Zoo being named as her new home.
Providence the giraffe arrives at Roger Williams Park Zoo
“She’s a brave, bold, sassy little girl. She came right up to us on her first day to eat her grain from a bucket. She wants to play with our other female giraffe, but they are still getting to know each other,” said Amy Roberts, deputy director of animal programs at the zoo. Roger Williams Park Zoo was chosen to get Providence as part of a breeding recommendation based on the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for Masai giraffes. The process makes sure that endangered species keep a “genetically diverse and biologically sound population.”
This is from her 1st birthday back at the Greenville Zoo in SC.
