The Greenville Zoo hosted Dr. Francois Deacon, a wildlife habitat expert whose research is focused on giraffes in their natural habitat. Dr. Deacon presented his unique field research project on giraffes that involves their immobilization and collection of biological samples critical for giraffe conservation. For the study, he developed a head harness equipped with a satellite GPS device that led to the collection of data and the description of behavior that has never before been documented. He also talked about giraffe conservation, including their natural history and endangered status.
