@ikkviper Hi Kevin, we've had to temporarily turn the cameras off. 

We will hopefully have the live Giraffe camera back up operating in the next few weeks.

There are plenty of other live cams in the mean time to check out on our YouTube channel!

Kind Regards,

Zoos Victoria

@elmo3907 Hi Amanda, none of our animal experiences involve holding the animals, as we believe in giving each species full choice and control in their own movement as part of our welfare standards. We do have a few experiences you might be interested in though.
