The newest additions to the B. Bryan Preserve in Point Arena are male Rothschild Giraffes that came from the San Diego Zoo. Allen Francis recently photographed the G Boys. You will see in the second photo that carrots are a big hit!

Frank and Judy Mello had to build a special heated barn for these endangered Giraffes. We hope they will thrive in their new home in Point Arena.

The B. Bryan Preserve has welcomed their first giraffes - two young male Rothschild Giraffes. They come from the San Diego Zoo. Several more arrived last Thursday.

Here is one of the first arrivals. He weighs over 1300 pounds. So beautiful and so unique. There are less than seven hundred of these giraffes left in the wild.

Meet Rocket, the newest member of the herd of endangered Roan Antelopes that make their home in Point Arena at the wildlife preserve B. Bryan Preserve.

And here is Rhonda, Rocket's mom, nursing her newborn. You'll see one of her horns is askew. Judy Mello told me Rhonda had a fight with some other mean Roan girls and this is the result. Judy called it a "bad horn day."

Thanks to Judy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

The wildlife preserve in Point Arena is once again welcoming new life. Two newborn Sable Antelopes have joined the herd.

Judy Mello, one of the owners of the Preserve, reports they are healthy and running all over the place. Did you know there are guest quarters at the preserve? Talk about a different vacation - helping endangered species and getting a serious dose of cuteness all at the same time.

Judy Mello photographed the full moon rising on March 7th at the B. Bryan Preserve in Point Arena. The Grevy's Zebras aren't paying any attention though, getting a little more dinner before darkness fell.

 And I took this photo early the next morning of the moon setting over the Pacific Ocean. A few wispy clouds decorated the moon. It was mesmerizing!

There have been lots of Gray Whale sightings this past week. I will share a few pictures with you tomorrow.
