Meet Nguvu (pronounced n-GOO-voo), meaning “strength” in Swahili—a name that perfectly reflects this little one’s strong and curious nature. Born to mom Stephanie (6) and dad Ja (4), the newest addition to the giraffe herd arrived on February 7, weighing 169 pounds and standing 6 feet 2 inches tall. Nguvu is described by his care team as strong, brave, curious, and gregarious—often exploring new spaces before his mother and eagerly approaching keepers for his first health checkup.
