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.

The need for these transf ers is tied directly to the SSP’s efforts to maintain a healthy populati on.
