When you Give the Gift of Grub…
…you help fulfill the dietary needs of thousands of animals. In a single year, they consume:
- 12,000 bales of hay
- 5.7 million mealworms
- 39,000 pounds of fish
- 214,000 heads of lettuce
…and that is just a sample of all the food they eat!

Asali is mom to two giraffes who have been born at the Zoo. She likes getting attention from her zookeepers and enjoys lettuce served with love at the Giraffe Feeding Platform!
