Süleyman was moved to a larger enclosure that also houses one Kudu, one Nyala, and two Sable antelopes. Doing so minimises Süleyman’s interaction with humans, and acclimatises him to be with other herbivores, as giraffes would be in the wild.
In a year or so when Süleyman is older, he will be introduced to the other resident giraffes at Bela Bela sanctuary.
