Adopt Chandy!

Meet Chandy,  our newest female Masai giraffe calf! You can see Chandy and the rest of the giraffe herd in the African plains section of the Zoo.

Did you know that Masai giraffe were recently listed as Endangered by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature)? These amazing ungulates have declined in population by more than 50% in just 30 years.

The Kansas City Zoo supports Masai giraffe conservation with financial support from the Zoo's Conservation Fund to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Each visit to the Kansas City Zoo results in a contribution to the Conservation Fund, helping to protect species from extinction at home and around the globe.

  • A framed animal photo of Chandy the Masai giraffe
  • A plush toy
  • An animal fact sheet
  • Personalized adoption certificate
  • KC Zoo sticker
