Help Hamisi Celebrate His 1st Birthday July 23rd at Franklin Park Zoo!

Hamisi and his mom, Jana from 2009

Join Dad, Beau and Mom, Jana to help celebrate the birth of their male offspring, Hamisi, during a special 1^st birthday party at Franklin Park Zoo. 

Hamisi’s parents, Beau and Jana, are both ranked very highly in terms of their importance to maintaining the genetic diversity of the North American captive Masai giraffe population. Hamisi was the third calf born to Beau and Jana. The giraffes make their home on the Giraffe Savannah at Franklin Park Zoo.
