WILL WALKER, animal manager at Wild Place Project, measuring up the giraffes. It’s been a year since three young giraffe arrived at Wild Place Project, and now it’s time to see how they are measuring up. Giraffes Dayo, Gerry and Tom, arrived at the attraction last May. The three young males have done plenty of growing in that time, but have not yet reached full maturity and will get even taller yet. The biggest giraffe, Gerry, has just celebrated his fourth birthday and now stands at more than 4m (13ft) tall. Tom is the smallest of the three, at just two and a half years old, and in the middle is Dayo, who turned three in March. Giraffe reach maturity at around five years old and can grow up to 5m (16.5ft) tall. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP
