At 15 years old, male giraffe Jabari is entering his senior years. Just like humans, animals can face challenges as they age, and our team is dedicated to making sure Jabari continues to live comfortably at Zoo Boise!
With the guidance of Dr. Liza Dadone, a veterinary advisor for giraffes, our team has developed a specialized care plan for Jabari that includes pain management, supplements, and customized training. He is even learning to voluntarily participate in hoof trims, laser therapy, and blood draws which helps keep stress low while giving our team important insight into his health. Every step reflects Zoo Boise’s commitment to providing the very best care for the animals who call the zoo home.
Zoo Boise is a division of Boise Parks and Recreation.
