Giraffes, Zoo giraffe enclosure in Phường Bến Nghé, Vietnam
The giraffe enclosure features multiple adult specimens displaying their distinctive spotted coats while grazing on specially prepared vegetation throughout the day.
The giraffe exhibit opened in the early 2000s as part of the zoo's expansion project to include African species within District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City.
The name Hươu cao cổ literally translates to tall-necked deer in Vietnamese, reflecting the local interpretation of these African mammals in Southeast Asian culture.
Visitors can observe the giraffes from multiple viewing platforms between 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM daily, with feeding demonstrations scheduled twice per day.
The enclosure includes elevated feeding stations that allow guests to watch the giraffes extend their two-foot-long tongues to gather leaves from tree branches.
