Giraffes - Melbourne Zoo, Victoria, Australia

Giraffes wander between tall palms and raised feeding stations in this live view of their outdoor habitat at Melbourne Zoo. The camera takes in the sandy enclosure, surrounding trees and sheltered areas, with a visitor path along the foreground. Animals may move close to the camera or farther into the habitat.

Located in Parkville, Melbourne Zoo brings a range of animals into a leafy setting within the city. Here, the giraffes’ height and long reach are easy to appreciate beside the trees and feeding structures. Their patterned coats also make individuals visually distinctive as they move around the enclosure.

Daily activity includes browsing, walking and resting, with quieter stretches when the giraffes stand together or leave the camera’s view. Sunlight, rain and shifting shade change the appearance of the habitat through the day, while the broad view shows how the animals share their space.

Did You Know? A giraffe’s tongue measures about 17–20 inches (45–50 cm) and can curl around branches to grasp leaves.
