Summary
Hamilton Zoo’s giraffes are finally getting a proper home — a seven-meter-tall, climate-controlled barn designed for comfort and care. After years of delays and a crumbling old enclosure, this upgrade offers real warmth in winter, easier health checks at eye level, and even a padded stall for safe sedation. Built with US zoo design expertise and local architects, it’s packed with modern features for ventilation, feeding, and medical care. The giraffes — Jabali and Kevin — will move in by November, and the new space will also help house young male giraffes struggling to find homes elsewhere.
