Alan is our goofy, food-loving, reticulated giraffe, and is “hooves” down the tallest animal at the zoo. Alan is a foodie at heart, whether its grain, alfalfa, hay, or lettuce, Alan loves it all. When he is not eating, Alan spends his days lounging by the pool, taking selfies with guests, and, of course, spending time with his two sons, Cosmo and Brayden. In the wild, giraffe populations have decreased dramatically within the past 30 years due to poaching and habitat loss.
