We’re excited to meet Matumaini, the new giraffe baby, at the Toronto Zoo in a special video. Matumaini, which means “hope” in Swahili, is Amani Innis Dagg’s brother. A big thank you to zookeeper Amy Gerditschke and the Toronto Zoo for this special opportunity. The Toronto Zoo is located in Ontario, Canada. Anne and Mary will talk about Anne’s research in South Africa to investigate what giraffes eat. And we’ll meet Cheryl Suitor, an artist and retired elementary school art teacher from Virginia, USA, who will tell us what we’ll need to prepare for May’s meeting when she will teach us how to draw a giraffe.
