Giraffe Habitat Cam

The Giraffe Herd of Melbourne Zoo

This camera looks over the giraffe habitat at Melbourne Zoo, one of Australia's oldest and most-loved zoos. The resident herd of reticulated giraffes moves slowly across the open paddock, reaching into elevated feeders and browsing on foliage in a manner that mirrors their natural feeding behaviour.

A Spacious Open-Air Enclosure

The exhibit recreates an African savanna setting with sandy ground, shade trees and tall feeding stations designed to encourage the giraffes to stretch upward. The elevated viewing angle captures the full sweep of the habitat and the animals' graceful, unhurried movements.

Conservation at Zoos Victoria

Melbourne Zoo is operated by Zoos Victoria, an organisation dedicated to fighting extinction through breeding programs, research and education. The giraffe habitat is part of its wider mission to connect visitors with wildlife and inspire support for species under threat.

Set in Parkville, Melbourne

The zoo sits in the inner-city suburb of Parkville, surrounded by the leafy parklands just north of Melbourne's centre. Its accessible location has made it a beloved family destination for generations of Victorians.
