The Giraffe

Onwards to Day three of our Animal a Day feature and let’s bring out the giraffes! They are the world’s tallest mammals but because of their size they do need to travel great distances to maintain their diet. The below image is from one of the in game menus showing off the baby version of the Giraffe

Location: Africa
Lifespan: 25 years in the wild
Diet: Herbivore
Interesting fact: The giraffes spots are much like a snowflake, no two are ever exactly the same.  However giraffes from the same area do appear similar.

Here’s a video from Cincinnati Zoo that shows baby Giraffe Lulu stepping outside for the first time. At just two weeks old, it’s impressive how comfortable Lulu is in her new surroundings.

When Zoo Park launches in May your animals will also breed to have babies! 

We Bought A Zoo - Tonight on Sky Premiere

If you have Sky Premiere there’s an exciting new film premiering tonight called “We Bought A Zoo”. It features Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. You can check out the trailer below.

Based on a True story, it tells the tale of a father who after the death of his wife moves with his kids to the Californian hills where their property is attached to a financially struggling zoo. Of course all manner of mischief then ensues but let’s not reveal any more than that for those who are looking to watch it.

It’s on at 2:00PM (Premiere & Premiere HD), today but if you miss that don’t worry, thanks to the wonder of sky premieres scheduling it’s also on at 3:00PM (Premiere +1), 8:00PM (Premiere & Premier HD) & 9:00PM (Premiere +1).

When you begin your career in our game Zoo Park: Run Your Own Animal Sanctuary, you’ll feel the pressure of financial uncertainty, so perhaps this film could even give you some pointers as to how to run your zoo more effectively.
