Description I'll start this off with a story.

This giraffe lives on the award winning 17 acre safari area of Binder Park. It is made to be as realistic as possible. Including a fake zebra carcass. It's always interesting to see how the children react and what the parents say to calm down the children. Normally we hear OMG MOMMY A DEAD ZEBRA OMG....but this time it was OMG MOMMY THE GIRAFFE IS EATING THE ZEBRAS!!!!!! now try to explain that to a child.

This isn't my local zoo its about 1.5 hour drive to this one. We go to any zoo within 4 hours drive. This one is located in Battle Creek Michigan. If you are ever in the area let me know. You'd love this one.
