More than giraffes too

At the Living Desert, they do have animals other than giraffes. You don't get to feed them, however, and mostly they're (understandably) lethargic, but they are there.

Ostrich in palm shadow (they share the same pen with the giraffes).
Zebra butt.

Cheetahs not being the fastest land animal.

Oryx (the "unicorn of the desert").

A headless vulture in the aviary.


A caged owl who doesn't seem that happy to be looked at.

A butterfly. (You can tell by the way it rests with its wings up that it's not a moth.)
I think it's a cicada. They make a lot of noise in the trees throughout much of the park.
