Tan Chong International Limited is proud to announce the adoption of Marco and Jubilee, the resident father and son giraffes at the Singapore Zoo.
The father, Marco, was born in 2004 in the Royal Burgers' Zoo in the Netherlands and came to the Singapore Zoo in 2005. When he first arrived, he was less than 2m tall. Now at 16-years old, he is 5m tall and weighs 1,200kg. Jubilee is the Singapore Zoo's first baby giraffe in 28 years. Born on 31 August 2015, he was given the name Jubilee in a nod to Singapore's SG50 celebrations. He was 1.9m tall at birth. Jubilee is very close to his father, Marco, often following him around the exhibit.
Ms. Isabel Cheng, Senior Director for Partnership Development, Wildlife Reserves Singapore said, "We welcome Tan Chong International Limited to our community of sponsors who are our partners in the mission to protect wildlife. Beyond contributing to the care and preservation of animal species, this support also helps to nurture innate connections between people and nature."
Visitors can interact with Marco and Jubilee at the Wild Africa zone of the Singapore Zoo. They can also meet them up-close daily at 10:45am, 1:50pm and 3:45pm, take pictures and feel what it is like to have a giraffe eat out of their hand.
To commemorate the adoption, Tan Chong International Limited has also partnered with The Animal Project, a social enterprise which aims to bring customers beautifully crafted, high-quality lifestyle products showcasing the talents of artists with special needs. The product of the collaboration is a limited edition tumbler designed by Tay Jun-Yi, which features a giraffe father and son duo. Five hundred limited-edition tumblers will be made and sold at $33 (inclusive of GST). Customers can purchase them at Subaru and Nissan Service Centres.
