He is the first male giraffe to call Blair Drummond home in a decade.
An endangered male giraffe 'made himself right at home' at a Scottish safari park after travelling across the sea from Dublin.
Sifa arrived at the park around 8pm on Wednesday after travelling from Dublin Zoo. It is estimated there are only about 2,000 Rothschild's giraffes left in the wild. He has so far met new companions Harriet, Bella and Ruby, with the park saying the four are already getting along well. The overall giraffe population spanning all species has dropped by about 30% since the 1980s, with an estimated 117,000 left in the wild.
