##Frequently Asked Questions ###What kind of animals do you have? Giraffe Ranch has over 450 animals representing over 50 different species. A lot of the animals you find here are ones that zoos are unable to house because they live in such large groups and require lots and lots of space. Our property houses a variety of exotic hoofstock species such as giraffe, zebra, camels, Pygmy hippo, warthog, otter, ring-tailed and red-ruffed lemurs, watusi cattle, and more! You'll also have a chance to see a variety of native wildlife.
###Which tour time is best to view the animals? All of our tour times are great! The animals that we house here are specifically chosen because they do well in central Florida's climate.
###Where do your animals come from? Because we have so much space for our animals, babies are a very common thing! Most of our animals are born onsite. We buy, sell, and trade with other licensed facilities.
###Can I bring my pet? We do not allow any unauthorized animals on the premises, which includes our driveway and parking lot. Please leave all dogs, cats, and other furry critters at home.
###Will I see every animal during the tour? You may not see every animal during your time here. Because our property is so large, and most of the animals live in huge pastures as opposed to enclosures, there is no guarantee that you will see every species on the property.
