This acknowledgment is a tremendous ho nor and a reflection of years of hard work by our animal care and animal h ealth teams!   The SSP is responsible for managing healthy and geneticall y diverse assurance populations of animals across AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums. By coordinating breeding recommendations and animal transfers\, the program helps secure a brighter future for some of your favorite spec ies. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A major factor in Seneca Park Zoo being selected as a gi raffe holding facility was our team’s incredible success in giraffe trai ning. Giraffes are among the most challenging animals to train\, requiring extraordinary patience\, consistency\, and trust-building due to their na turally cautious nature. As a smaller zoo with a highly experienced animal care team\, we are uniquely positioned to provide the individualized atte ntion and dedicated time needed to achieve these unique training milestone s. Giraffe training looks like active participation in healthcare. This in cludes voluntarily lifting their hooves for hoof care\, presenting differe nt parts of their bodies for ultrasounds\, participating in blood draws\, and even allowing facial radiographs\, all without the need for anesthesia . This not only reduces stress for the animals but also allows our team to provide more effective preventative care! Because of our ambitious traini ng program and our proximity to the Canadian border\, we are an ideal faci lity to help train and transport Masai giraffes. \n \n \n \n But how does Canada connect to this? The need for these transf ers is tied directly to the SSP’s efforts to maintain a healthy populati on. Currently\, there are more male Masai giraffes in the United States th an can be accommodated long-term\, while several Canadian facilities need male giraffes. By helping prepare and move these animals\, we are contribu ting to a coordinated effort that supports the future of the species acros s North America!   Written by Jaiya Astacio\, Communications Coordinator.
