ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A giraffee at the Albuquerque BioPark is about to turn 30 years old and the BioPark has a big birthday bash planned. June is the oldest reticulated giraffe at the zoo and her 30th birthday is significant because the median age for a female of her species is around 20 years. In fact, it’s believed June is the fifth oldest female reticulated giraffe in North America.
115 New Mexico students receive more than $120K in scholarships
To celebrate her big day, the BioPark will host a celebration on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All of her herd mates will be in attendance as well.
