B Bryan Preserve plans to add giraffes. Initial plans call for facilities to hold up to six giraffes. http://bbryanpreserve.com/BBryanPreserveBrochure.pdf
The preserve welcomed four black wildebeest today, making them the second public holder of this species in North America. This is the second new species for the preserve this year, following the acquisition of a male Cape buffalo from Denver over the summer.
Fourth then because of the herd at Six Flags Adventure Kingdom. Well, I’m glad to hear that there are more of them knocking about than first meets the eye, albeit it is unfortunate they are all held in such obscure places. The B Bryan Preserve is still the only facility associated with the AZA (the Preserve is an AZA certified related facility) to house the species then. A fact that I unfortunately suspect will remain to be true.
The preserve welcomed a male bontebok, the first new species since the 2018 arrival of the black wildebeest.
The most notable births would be from their black wildebeest herd. Otherwise, they are still regularly breeding their sable, roan, greater kudu, and Hartmann's and Grevy's zebra. They still maintain a bachelor herd of giraffe and singleton Cape buffalo and plains zebra.
It should also be noted that on January 5th, 2022, a (1.0) Nubian giraffe named Buster passed away at age 10. Log in or sign up to view
