Giraffes, the tallest animals on earth, are a keystone species that play a key role in their ecosystem. Over the past decade, giraffe populations have shrunk at an alarming rate due to habitat loss, human population growth, poaching, disease, war, and civil unrest. With a mix of live footage, keeper interviews, and video clips, participants will learn about the “silent extinction” facing these majestic creatures. Participants will also learn just what makes them so special, from their prehensile tongues to their six-foot legs.
