The Al Ain Zoo in UAE will release newborn endangered species of Rothschild’s giraffes into the world’s largest man-made safari named after the zoo itself.
These giraffes will live alongside the existing group of 12 individuals in the largest man-made safari in the world as part of wildlife conservation programmes and strategies to breed and increase the numbers of Rothschild’s giraffes.
